Vigneron is pretty conservative where can one access the building plans for the new Cathedral? Were these plans from the previous bishop?

There's a couple of photos on this thread. And yes, the previous bishop still has a hand in this, though the plans have been slightly modified.

Especially when one considers that it's a multimillion dollar venture, it's probably the cheapest-looking Cathedral I've ever seen.

Diva, see post #57 for a big picture.

Yes, John started this misadventure and tried to get JPII to keep him past retirement so that he could build his edifice complex, but JPII 'accepted' his retirement at 75.
