Show An article on the new Westminister Cathedral has been making the rounds of the Catholic press. It is asserted by the writer that over $10,000,000 have been spent in the construction of the new edifice up to date. Anyone who knows the condition of the Church in England needs not be told that no such sum has been spent. The fact is,, as The Tablet has repeatedly asserted, that the Cathedral when completed will not have cost much over $1,000,000. This foolish exaggeration only makes us ridiculous. The new Cathedral in course of erection in Newark, will be as fine as Cardinal Vaughan's. His Eminence, by the way, is not the fool to sink $10,000,000 in a brick church. |
