I agree with the sentiment, however the St. Paul basilica may not be the best example to follow. It was extravagantly expensive, and the catholic church financed it in large part by selling "indulgences" (basically foregiveness for your sins in exchange of money), which was one of the main factors that led to the protestant reformation. So yes, let's build nice things again, but not at the cost of a religious war that lasts for centuries 😅
