The world thinks that our cathedrals should be less ostentatious, that such an expense is wasted. What piffle. We shall go on breaking the alabaster jar forever. (Mark 14:3-9.)
"The Cathedral Church belongs properly to no particular parish, but that it is the Mother Church of the whole Diocese, such a temple should be built in a manner and style suitable to the Greatness and Majesty of Our Holy Religion."
- Bishop Michael Power, builder of St. Michael’s Cathedral
