I do not like this building, I don't care for it aesthetically, but more significantly it's too new to be culturally importantly. Old churches/mosques/temples can have historical significance, but such is completely missing in this case. There's a joke going around that it's the first cathedral constructed as a tourist attraction which is both hilarious and accurate.
Before the modern era constructing expensive religious buildings could perhaps be justified, but after the 1800s people ought to have known better and these can't lay claim to represent the city as earlier projects could. It belongs in the same category as the castle at Disneyland.
