What’s the matter with all of you folks? Clearly, you are all men 😛

and missed the most important message we ought to be sharing:

[SIGN]Congratulations to you, JimmyB, on gaining a beautiful daughter in law and having a son who has graduated from West Point!! [/SIGN]

You must be so proud!

I love her wedding dress. Your son looks so handsome and happy. Her flowers are gorgeous.

And the chapel is magnificent.

Cathedrals, schmathedrals.

You all missed the point.

Men. :doh2:

I believe Anglicans and Lutherans claim to have bishops. The Church doesn’t recognize the validity of their ordination however. I can call my home a Cathedral, but that doesn’t mean it is.

Claiming that your random assertion has basically the same value as a similar assertion by, say, the Archbishop of Canterbury leads to squick.

I’m a little curious about what you would call Canterbury Cathedral apart from a cathedral, but I’m also a little bit afraid that will lead to more squick.

Hey, I’m a female! I just happen to be a geek for architecture.

Yes, congrats JimmyB! Long and happy life to them.

Thank you so much PRmerger… and this is why you continue to be one of my favorites here at CAF. I have two sons and they both received Congressional Nominations to attend the USMA at West Point, NY… and my “Perfect Daughter” , who is also a veteran, is working at the Pentagon. I may have had some setbacks in life (physically),… seriously injured in the line of duty… However, I’ve been blessed with an awesome wife and awesome kids and a profound Catholic faith and a close and loyal relationship with God… What more can you ask for???

I like old cathedrals, chapels and missions…

We don’t have any missions (as far as I know) in my neck of the woods, but there’s nothing like a cathedral or a chapel to draw you into the Silence and know that He is there.

Unfortunately, yes. When I tell people my church is a cathedral, they look puzzled when they arrive at this:

Instead of the Hagia Sophia or something.

[EDIT] I’m not allowed to post photos yet 😦

That is beautiful! If it’s like the orthodox church I’ve visited (and I’m sure it is) all of the walls are filled with icons. Small but visually stunning!

Here is the interior of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tacoma. The second photo looks flat but I’m looking up into a tall dome. What look like light-grey tabs with pink patterns are stained glass windows.
 
What remains of the church I grew up in.

It was a very attractive modern church, but after the pastor had the congregation fund extension after extension, he had it sold and torn down to make a megachurch for himself. He ended up moving into an old Target store in a strip mall. Sad story, to me at least.

The Catholic cathedral in St. Louis:

I don’t think this picture does it justice.

And the Episcopal cathedral here. Not a fan of the denomination, but still, a pretty church.
