Another hundred million plus Cathedral

The people in the above photo need food not a $115 million monument to bishops. In the fourth century cathedrals appeared for the first time in Christianity. Christians who met in small dwellings and housed were invited to worship in formerly pagan temples. What did the first three centuries have? So we need these montrosities as a sign of unity. Remember at the big functions you will find only a token poor person in those front pews. I know cathedrals are beautiful and all that. But we are talking community not grandeur. And how 4th century is this? And I would like to know how much Catholic charities come from public funds? How accountable are those funds.
None of this happened until Constantine gave all the pagan temples to the bishops and they shamelessly made them Christian churches. I don’t think it is money well spent and to throw in that the church is helping the economy is fishing for straws.
In Rome we have empty Cathedrals. They really are not churches. Ditto for Spain and Montreal.
They are monuments to monarchs. In a terribly corrupt and incompetent church, there has to be greater justification for this kind of expense. All the bishops love this grandiosity.
Above all we have little financial accounting. The next big scandal.
Cathedrals are vestiges of pagan Rome. More Dives than Jesus. They make a mockery out of the Magnificat. A continuation of a Regal Church. They fit right there with the floor length gowns. And Cardinal Hats; another office that has no scriptural base.
