I tried, but the language difference would not allow it. Racism can be so bold and yet so subtle, so cutting and dehumanizing, so stubborn and insidious. You can't go to Europe without visiting cathedrals. It's not allowed. They are everywhere.
Some cathedrals are huge.
Some serve primarily as regularly worshipping congregations. Others are essentially museums and are visited mostly by out-of towners. Some cathedrals are well-kept. Others are in disrepair. Most are cold and have leaky roofs.
