    Say what you want about religion, but you cant not be impressed by the shear beauty of some of these Cathedrals.

      @@leighannwagor5037 Yes, that’s true. Our youth, especially boys don’t have to watch guard against Roman clerics. I live two blocks from St. Matthews Cathedral. Two of the last three cardinals were thrown out of the church, one for being directly involved, the other for being complicit. Yes, keep in mind THIS IS AN ANGLICAN CHURCH, not Roman.

      These buildings are 1000s of years old, and they were not used as Cathedrals/Churches.

    Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. I've not visited the cathedral while in NYC, but after seeing this, it's a definite stop next time I'm in town. One suggestion - you may want to leave the text on the screen when you have longer selections of text displayed. I found I had to rewind and pause a few times to read it all.

    Thank you for making this video. I sing in the Cathedral's Chorale and the high holidays are absolutely breathtaking. Seeing this video gives me delightful chills too. Your choice of music to accompany this video is tantalizing. I've been in LOVE with the Cathedral since the 1970s when I first saw it. IT GETS VERY VERY LITTLE PRESS OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. I guess because it is NOT a Roman Catholic church. St. Patrick's get ALL of the attention I guess because over 80% of the people in the 5 boroughs are Roman Catholic. Well St. John gets the back flow from St. Patrick's during Christmas where there is STANDING ROOM ONLY and you don't need tickets to get into St. John's on Christmas and Easter. BTW... St. Patrick's cathedral can fit neatly INSIDE of St. John leaving PLENTY OF ROOM TO SPARE!!!

    This cathedral surprises very much to me. The mixture of gothic and romanesque arcs, the big spaces.. I live at a small city in Spain with a very pure gothic old cathedral. (years 1.222 to 1.290) And so, I can't avoid thinking that this cathedral is strange and complicated. But it is amazing too Sorry my poor english. :D

    "The Power of Their Glory - America's Ruling Class: the Episcopalians" - a 1978 book explaining this particular aspect of American history. You can pick it up for less than $5 on thrifty book sites and Amazon. It's definitely worth the effort to purchase and is a very well written book. I've had my copy for over 30 years, and refer to it often...
