Click on the link above. You will see a picture of the monstrosity. Although, with the Vatican, this kind of thing probably has been in the works long before the purchase of Crystal Cathedral, that kind of thing (think about LA’s new Cathedral, Oakland’s new Cathedral, or Liverpool UK’s new Cathedral) is probably just what they had in mind.
On my visit to the Crystal Cathedral, I found it to be a lovley and inspiring house of worship.
I recommend reading “Ugly As Sin” by Michael Rose. He wrote “Goodbye, Good Men” about the decline in the priesthood, then wrote “Ugly” to record the shocking destruction of previously magnificent churches into plain and ugly (and plain ugly) “worship spaces.”
