Thank goodness that Bishop Burbidge has chosen an excellent and traditional architectural firm (McCrery) to build the cathedral rather than some reckovator like Richard Vosko. Catholics and Protestants alike have suffered for too long with horrendous buildings from the 60s onward that look like anything but churches. Just think: Orange County gets that horrid Crystal Cathedral and Raleigh gets this. This goes to show you what can happen when you have a Bishop who understands history, tradition and aesthetics.
Good Choice, Your Excellency
