They were in need of a cathedral for the diocese. I don't know how the cost of building one compares to the cost of acquiring this one.

I don't like it personally. It looks like it was transported from Krypton. Which, I suppose, is better than the Prison Nouveau cathedral down Interstate 5

“They were in need of a cathedral for the diocese. “

Not if they followed the Bible... no cathedrals appear. Not in Apostolic teaching. Not in history until hundreds of years later.

Creative architecture and the Catholic Liturgy do not go well together, I’ve found.

First noticed that in modern churches built with an “in the round” design. The spoke-and-wheel aisle layout makes getting down for Communion quite an adventure. Not to mention trying to navigate those aisles with a casket on a gurney.
