"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn't be a great moral teacher. He'd be either a lunatic- on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg - or else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was and is the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse....But don't let us come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He hasn't left that open to us. He didn't intend to." --C. S. Lewis

That particular Basilica is actually my third favorite place in the world (the other two are my parish and another local parish). :) It is a breathtaking place! If you haven't visited, you should take the opportunity to as soon as possible.
