[/quote] Yeah, that's exactly where that is from. That pic is on the cover of a certain Michael Davies book and I looked into it once. I have an insane collection of pics from Cardinal Mahoney Masses. Thousands of pics for sure... You could lose your lunch looking at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the world needs, apparently, are more cathedrals designed intentionally with an absence of right angles.

I might feel different if I had to deal with L.A.! But I think the overall trend is moving away from wackyness. Certain outposts my resist the trend for a while, though.
