Saint Josaphat's Shout Out

Before we get to the news, let me share a little story. Today for my History of Milwaukee class, we went to The Basilica of Saint Josaphat, the prominent feature of the Polish (now Hispanic) Southside.

I brought along my camera, but as usual, I chickened out. (The pictures on the website don't do justice to the glorious beauty that's inside). I totally had permission to take as many pictures as I wanted, but I didn't. I have this thing where I can't take pictures of the inside of a church. I feel guilty. I don't attend the church, but I feel that I'm stealing something from the people that do attend the church. It's weird, I know.

Hopefully though I'll get over that fear. Everybody should go check that out, it's a $3 tour. Tour as in self-guided. Well, a tour guide who tells you about things.

Totally worth it.

I have the same problem. El Duomo in Milan is a gorgeous church with some of the most amazing architecture I’ve ever seen. I took tons of pictures outside and from the roof, but none inside. Actually, I didn’t even go inside because a service was being held and I thought it was disrespectful. I probably missed out on seeing some beautiful things, but I didn't feel right going in.
