I'm not Catholic but my Father's family is. I remember as a child visiting my Grandmother in MN and going to this Cathedral. I still remember what a beautiful place it was. How sad that my childhood memories are stained by this picture.
It's even more beautiful and glorious now because the Cardinal who serves at that Cathedral has stood up to those who would challenge Catholic teachings. That should make you very proud to know that the faith practiced by your father is still practiced today. The teachings your father adhered to are still taught today.
