I personally think the church is beautiful.

It is beautiful for an auditorium, but it does not look like a church to me. Where is the crucifix? Why is the saint's picture up high while the cross is down at the floor? I guess I'll never recover from Vatican II.

Why is the saint's picture up high while the cross is down at the floor? I guess I'll never recover from Vatican II.

Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and throughout the world. (Diary 47)

I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I myself will defend it as My own glory. (Diary 48)

It is for these reasons that the image takes center spot.

The building is rather austere ... but not as radical as Cardinal Mahony's "Roj Mahal".
