YOu know, usually, you can look at a church and recognize it as Catholic from the building design. That one, no. It's really ugly and reflects less San Francisco than modern architecture. And then there were the pagan symbols on the doors....

Interesting < blech! >

We were talking with our rector about the construction of our parish church. He said they interviewed six architects, five of whom were Catholics and one Presbyterian. The parish committee talked at length about their desire for a traditional church that adhered to all the rubrics . . . but only one architect came back with what they had in mind - the Presbyterian. All the others submitted modernist lunacy, despite the committee's request. The Presby listened, so they hired him. The church is beautiful.
