“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Saints preserve us, it’s Cardinal Mahoney’s rectory!
it’s an unrecovered robot debris from a great Transformer’s battle. nice to see some one putting it to use.
It’s the probe that recently landed on Cormac.
It looks like a gigantic, upside-down . . . . udder?
Seriously, what in the . . . ?
It’s a time travelling machine from the future. Skynet has finally come for us!
Stained glass – probably a church. Besides Communists wouldn’t go to that much trouble in designing a building. Plus it would be starting to fall apart already.
It brings to mind an article I once read called “Spank the Architect” in the Australian Catholic publication AD2000 – I won’t drop the link, but it’s worth a google if you’d like – and, yes, it’s about modern church architecture. In this case, in all charity, the architect could use a good horsewhipping.
Minefield?
It’s the alien “gas main” (M.I.B) just before being blasted to pieces.
A giant squid with it’s tentacles amputated?
Someone’s worst nightmare?
It’s labeled “ugly church” so my guess is that it is a church.
