The following was in the weekend USA TODAY featuring the “Beauty of America’s Cathedrals”: Philadelphia: The Cathedral of Sts. Peter & Paul is the largest brownstone structure in Philadelphia and one of its most iconic structures. Large enough to hold 2,000 worshippers, it was built from 1846 to 1864, modeled after Romes Lombard Church of St. Charles (San Carlo al Corso), with an Italian Renaissance style Palladian façade and aqua oxidized-copper dome. Psst: rumor has it that Pope Francis might visit here in September 2015 when the World Meeting of Families comes to Philadelphia. It will soon be possible to double ones cathedral experience here; a large Mormon Temple is being erected next door, estimated to be completed in 2016.
