The story of Mary Magdalen was, no doubt, used by Roger Mahoney to justify his $200 million monstrosity.
Either we're going to live like Christ in all things, or we're going to be like the young man who went away, sad, "because he had many possessions."

So you sold all that you have and gave it to the poor?

Personally, I would have had no problem if he had spent $200 million on the most beautiful cathedral the world had ever seen as a fitting shrine to the One True God as present on the altar in the Holy Eucharist. Instead, he (purposely in my opinion) created a hideous postmodern airplane hangar that bears no resemblance to Church architecture and tradition, and ignores the centrality of the Eucharist to the point of hiding the tabernacle and making a mere table the centerpiece.
Your starting to sound like an 8th century iconoclast. So much for "progress."
