I agree with you.

The price tag is almost inconceivable, and building a cathedral almost entirely of glass and wood seems like an invitation to mischief.

This works out to a cost of $360 per Catholic in the Oakland diocese.

Hopefully this will serve to discourage parishoners and priests alike from throwing stones :D

You'd think Oakland would have learned a lesson from the LA Archdiocese (which is shelling out something like three times that amount to pay off the abuse settlement), and held onto the money "for a rainy day".
