The nuke thing is a joke, of course, but with a grain of truth behind it. Many 'modern-architecture' church buildings, of which Mahoney's Monstrosity is a prime example, are too aggressively ugly and too structurally wrongheaded to be salvageable. They are auditoriums, or theatres; places for entertainment, not for worship. The only thing to do is demolish them and start over from bare earth.

Most modern architecture makes me feel alienated. It's cold and sterile IMO. Once in awhile you see something modern that is somewhat pleasing to the eye; for the most part, it lacks artistic expression and individual craftsmanship. Most of it looks like it rolled off an assembly line in outer space.

"Mahony's so-called Cathedral is the reason for the Great Earthquake that completely destroyed Los Angeles at the dawn of the 21st century."
