The only thing I like is the baptismal pool. I think all RC's should start baptizing by triple immersion (as the Orthodox Christians do). The rest is just modern architecture that I can't get too excited over.

My mother was raised Byzantine by a formerly Orthodox mother. I have to agree with you. There is a beauty and mysticism in the Orthodox and Byzantine rites. It seems as though the AmChurch, at least, is working overtime to erase as much of that mysticism as they can. I can't get over how excited they are about their renovations. I live near enough to NE Ohio that I've been to a few of these churches. It never ceases to amaze. I, too, like the mosaic in the baptismal font/pool.
