"... while Weakland continues his iconoclastic wrecking crew?"

I agree with everything you said, howlingly...Just a note to put it over the top, were you aware that after Weakland destroyed the Cathedral, he signed his work by having a large portrait of himself put in a roundel on a side aisle? In the portrait, he's smirking. A far cry from medieval donors (and even bishops) who had themselves painted in at the far corner of an altarpiece, kneeling and begging for mercy along with all the other sinners. I guess Weakland has moved beyond pre-Vatican II things like sinfulness and humility.

Did you hear about the dedication that is on the cornerstone on Weakland's barbarity ... in Latin, it says, "I, Rembert Weakland, Abp of Milwaukee, amidst immense difficulties, have renovated this cathedral exactly according to the dictates of Vatican II". The man is clearly off his rocker.
