There seems a new church-like building under construction along the Centennial Parkway. A huge one with golden top. Very impressive. Anyone knows what it is? Looks like a chapel.

The Catholic Diocese of Raleigh is building a new cathedral in that vicinity--I'm assuming that's what it is. It will replace the 1920's era Sacred Heart Cathedral downtown (the smallest cathedral in the continental US).

Dat tax free construction perpetuating its intellectual agenda into future minds

4/22/2016 4:06:27 PM

So true story, I was walking downtown with Solinari late one night many moons ago, and I shared a bit of trivia I'd heard: The difference between a town and a city is widely considered to be that a city has a cathedral.

Solinari scoffed and said that could not be, because it would mean Raleigh is a town.

We were walking right in front of Sacred Heart.

Yes, it's the new Catholic cathedral...they are also moving all the Diocese offices there as well (from their current location off Creedmoor Rd in North Raleigh)

4/22/2016 4:12:48 PM

So we are finally are city now!

4/22/2016 4:16:39 PM

Remember that time the catholics murdered 14,000 of their own people in France because 6000 'other christians' might have been there?

4/22/2016 4:17:39 PM

LOL @ finally

Sacred Heart Cathedral was built in the early 1920s

Society lost its charm when we stopped burning people at the stake publically. Making people internalize guilt is boring as heck

Well according to the Christianity, the church is the people not the warehouse.

4/22/2016 4:26:26 PM

I don't even know there are pyramids in China!
I only know the tombs of emperors of dynasties, not pyramids. Interesting! I will check it out. Thank you for letting me know, lol.

Oh yeah, I forgot China doesn't tell their ppl shit. When is ground penetration space radar gonna be an APP I can download?

Probably. But now it can be found out on Chinese version of google.
Chinese people actually don't appreciate their culture very much. The Red Guard destroyed it during the cultural revolution, just like ISIS does.

^ I don't understand your question.

i believe the barriers to that are

1) affordable mobile ground to satellite communication
2) sufficient number of assets in orbit to support the traffic of numerous individual users
3) national security concerns of various nations

4/22/2016 4:39:18 PM

The security concern is obviously No. 1. Especially for communist countries.

4/22/2016 4:42:08 PM

Yeah but space tech is totally gonna take off eventually, if not by actual demand and innovation then maybe through the collective unconcious by virtue of the fact that people mostly the ones who are producing pop culture actually believe or choose to support scientology

4/22/2016 5:59:23 PM

I think its a church.

I heard they were building it on the highest point in Raleigh.

4/23/2016 1:45:20 PM

I'm glad to hear its a Catholic center

I was worried it was a Muslim terrorist place when I first saw it

So basically, instead of "we're all in danger"

"Raleigh's young boy population is in danger"

4/25/2016 6:20:48 PM

If we build it, they will come.
