Yes - the masterpiece of the Irish born architect who lived in Brooklyn, Patrick Christopher Keely was indeed Holy Cross Cathedral. He designed literally hundreds of churches, including Immaculate Conception - the nearby Jesuit church, which the Jesuits recently detroyed hte interior thereof.
But Holy Cross was recently "liturgized" by Cardinal Law a few years back. Sad. So Sad. It was never more beautiful then before that wreckovation, when it was in disrepair......but even falling plaster could not disguise its intrinsic beauty.
Keely's self proclaimed model for most of his churches was that they should resemble an ideal Catholic - modest and plain on the outside, but filled with the beauty and glory of Christ on the inside.
Is it me or is someone in particular bashing anyone in sight on this thread with no consequences from a moderator?
Thank you for that information. I haven't been in the Cathedral in over 30 years, having moved away from Boston.
