Although, I like a traditional lavish church with pictoral stained glass windows, traditional cross and statues. I do have a problem with tons of money being spent if it is in a middle class neighborhood, and families are struggling to make ends meet. They need the money more than the church. Infact, today it is just too expensive to make a church as lavish as in years gone by. But, if I had millions, or even billions I would donate some of it to build a traditional ornate church.

I agree -- Joan, 15:46:09 04/01/08 Tue [1] (ip68-0-253-131.ri.ri.cox.net/68.0.253.131)

I agree that you have to go, even if you don't like the style of the building. But given a choice... :)

This is the Cathedral in my state. It's just gorgeous. My son's freshman Mass and High School graduation were celebrated here. What an amazing place. This is the kind of church that feels special to me.

My parish church is much simpler, as you can tell by the pic above. It's very homey and comfortable. It's the traditional style that I love.

Providence is a city with amazing architecture, especially when you consider the size. If I can find some photos, I'll link them here. Maybe this why I prefer quality traditional structures to modern junk. Oh, did I say junk? I meant "art". :)
