I mean this isn't a politician we're talking about here, right? I don't know. Seems sort of crass. [/quote] Crass is the new good-natured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veridicus Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 [quote name='Raphael' date='23 January 2010 - 02:47 PM' timestamp='1264279623' post='2042977'] Our Lady of Logic is not actually that far off from Our Lady of Wisdom, and that is a real title for her. What's really nice is you could capture the meaning of both by calling her Our Lady of the Eternal Logos...which she was... [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It would be tasteless if people were counting down the days to his death, but that is not what is going on. I see nothing inherently wrong with a person counting down the days to Mahony's canonical retirement. Many of my Latin Catholic friends did the same thing as Bishop Cummins retirement approached in the Oakland Diocese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep in mind this man is complicit in the abuse of children and might be the most harmful bishop in living memory in regard to catechesis and liturgy. Let us pray for him and speak only charity.

[/quote] Well I think the outside is definitely ugly. But I don't think there is one style that has to be used for it to be a church. I have seen Catholic churches made out of old barns and they were legit. Probably the kids who grow up around the Cathedral will think it looks like a church For the Los Angeles-ites (or whatever you call them) it seems to be an effective place of worship although it still makes me mad what they did to St. Vibiana!
