I've been inside there and it is beautiful. Also, that link doesn't seem to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notre Dame de Montreal was one of the most beautiful churches I've ever been to, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 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.

Resurrexi Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starets Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Conquers Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
