I like it.

Sure beats the Taj Mahony, and it definitely has a verticle line to it. I'll be interested to see what the altar and nave look like.

PS: LOVE the Nativity facade. Kind of Rodinesque, with the figures seeming to emerge from the raw rock.

Hence, the word "gaudy." The concept came from his art.
