I don't feel building a Cathedral is a venture that warrants sparing any expense.

Helping the poor is a venture that warrants sparing no expense.

Worship of God is an activity that can take place in a tent or under the open sky.

God already built his Cathedrals -- the Universe and the planets.

Yes, certainly. But God also gave us the gifts of creativity and artisticism. Why not make something beautiful to consecrate unto Him? And besides, a Cathedral can (and should) be used to serve the poor. That's not its PRIMARY purpose, but it is one of the incidental purposes.
