    • Ave Maria University Chapel in Florida. 

    We went there to visit one of my sisters (or maybe it was for her graduation) and I never forgot this place.  We called it the "spaceship church" back then.  :laugh1:

    There are some aspects and art/statues which are not bad but just the over all structure makes me cringe.

    • It may not win the contest, but especially in contrast with what it replaced, the Taj Mahony sure is ugly. 




    Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral, Los Angeles. The $193 million monstrosity widely dubbed the “Taj Mahoney” or sometimes the “Rog Mahal” after its egomaniacal (and later revealed to be criminal) mastermind, Roger Cardinal Mahoney.

    The previous cathedral which it replaced:


    The Cathedral of Saint Vibiana, former cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

    Midnight Mass at St. Vibiana's, 1944:

    Not just ugly, also howling in a weird pagan way.
