Report from the field I



These are pictures of the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Saint Paul MN. The top one is a close-up of the main entrance and the bottom one is from the other side of the cathedral. The stone cutters and masons of Saint Paul have much to be proud of.

On the way to a Mueller family reunion in Wisconsin, the first Mueller Melee in this part of the country, we stopped in Saint Paul MN. From June 29 on for the next year the Church will be celebrating the life of St Paul, and especially so in particular parishes and dioceses such as the Cathedral of Saint Paul in, naturally enough, Saint Paul MN.

The main entrance is something else but I doubt that many see it because the parking lot naturally feeds you into one of the side doors and there is a heck of a lot of steps to get to the main entrance. Check out their website for info on the cathedral in St Paul MN and this one for National Geographic info on the recent archaeology of the saint's remains, and this one on Pope Benedict's proclamation from the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, Italy on 28 June 2008. What would we do without the info available on the World Wide Web? By the way, Carol and I visited this basilica (and the others too as proper pilgrims would) last December. It was being repaired for the coming year I suppose.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
