I disagree... have you toured the building? It is a wonderful work of architecture. Architecture and especially religious architecture is evolving with the advances of our modern world and culture. Just because it is not replication of cathedrals from the Middle Ages does not make it a mistake. Many people put their most creative work into the cathedral. Many, many artisans DONATED their work. Just because it was built during the reign of Mahoney, does not diminish it.
... but then again I love the arts. Historically the Catholic Church has been one of the foremost benefactor of the arts and architecture. (At least this is one thing he may have done correctly).

Can you please show pictures of the new cathedral to show me what is so nice about Our Lady of the Angels, at least a website that has pictures this new cathedral. One that gives a virtual tour. Thank-you.

Evolution can be either positive or negative. Most "advances of our modern world," like modern art and architecture, have gone in a southerly direction, to put it kindly.
