I agree. I've been inside there and it is beautiful. Also, that link doesn't seem to work for me.

I've been there. Montreal is full of beautiful Churches, it would be hard to choose one. The St. Joseph Oratory would be a good choice as well.

The tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe should be one of the wonders.

Ewww. I thought St. Joseph's Oratory was hideous.

Notre Dame de Montreal was one of the most beautiful churches I've ever been to, though.

Hideous? I don't know how you could think it is hideous. Here is a picture. It's also a legitimate wonder, look how high it is. Notre Dame is beautiful, but there are a lot of Churches like it.

The outside was beautiful and so was the crypt chapel and the chapel with all the candles and so was Br. Andre's little chapel. But the basilica was hideous.

It looks like a lovely building. I wish it was going to be the new Oakland Cathedral.

Actually Notre Dame is a basilica it is not the Cathedral Church. that would be St. Mary Queen of the World.

I would definitely pick Sagrada Famiglia. It will be nice to see it actually finished. But, as Gaudi reportedly said, "the client is not in a hurry" :)

Mary Queen of the world is nice, but really doesnt compare with the original.

You clearly have not seen what the new Oakland Cathedral is going to look like.

God Conquers

Vive la Quebec!

Mon choix est aussi l'oratoire St. Joseph!

What about the Eucharistic Miracle at Lanciano?

I know it's not a crazy building or anything, but it sure is a real Wonder!
