I do have a fascination with religious buildings and often times am drawn to them.  The amount of effort involved in making them and etc.  That being said, the crappy buildings that most people are putting up these days (religion, on the cheap!).  That being said, there is a clear indication that guy was a bit obsessed.  I'm not a huge fan of the iconography and the statutes used are kind of terrible, but the structure itself is oddly alluring.  There was a conversation about one of the angels being perhaps similar to Moroni, but on looking a bit closer, icon Moroni tends to be portrayed as more clearly masculine, while these angels were feminine or gender neutral.
