Cathedral Rising

I drove by the skeleton of the new Oakland Cathedral this morning. It is looking pretty much like what I am expecting, although it is still in its very early stages. While I don't think the building is remotely suitable for liturgy, they could probably sell it to the Chabot Space and Science Center, who could turn it into a fantastic annex for the display of aircraft. Then the diocese could use the money to build a real cathedral.

I do like how the structure is rising out of the site. I am skeptical that it will still look so cool when it is finished.

I will say that I would rather have this thing than some Duncan Stroik pastiche.
