For a new and modern building, this new Catholic Church, Our Lady of Peace Church in Ocala, Florida, is a nice blend of modern and traditional with ornate thrown in! Please note the altar railing:
I have a question: In many cathedrals up here in the northeast and elsewhere where I have lived I notice that the local Bishop sits front and center behind the altar and as such, is the focus of the congregation rather than the tabernacle. Does anyone know why this is an accepted practice? I don't like it but maybe I don't understand the posture.

I like it too. It has some warmth and ample evidence it is a Catholic worship space!
