From what I read about his obsession with building his ugly new Cathedral, I must say that Mahony suffers from the "ediface complex" that has afflects so many clerics. Unlikely to be remembered as saints, they want their names/features carved into stone.

<> Yep. It would have been so much better had Card. Mahony imitated Caravaggio who, in painting the severed head of St. John the Baptist, made it a self-portrait. Beautiful and spiritually subtle. Now, that was humility and a far cry from Caravaggio's earlier self-portrait as Bacchus.<>
