People from all other the world stop to attend mass here so for Catholics it is a great way to be reminded just how universal the Church is. Compared to older and grander Cathedrals - westminster is a bit bland. It has the feel of an Eastern Orthodox Church and they are making nice additions to the mosiacs. It definitely... more
