Christ Church Cathedral restoration boosted by $250k Latter-day Saints gift

ffs $250k from the Mormons? what a load of shit. why not just tear it down and build something useful.

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T00:07:56.000Z

yeah nah, that's a bit harsh. at least they're doing something instead of just moaning

Isla Cooper2026-06-19T00:14:56.000Z

honestly who cares who gives the money it's about time that eyesore got fixed 🙄

RNZ2026-06-19T00:20:56.000Z

bullshit. it's been 15 years and we're still begging for scraps

Morgan Lee2026-06-19T00:21:56.000Z

mormons have deep pockets, good on them for putting it somewhere visible. but how long until it's actually finished?

Isla Cooper2026-06-19T01:15:56.000Z

facts, but still better than nothing tbh

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T00:55:56.000Z

mormons paying for a cathedral? that's ironic cos their theology is wild but hey, cash is cash

Peyton Hall2026-06-19T01:51:56.000Z

lmao imagine if they turned it into a giant temple, the council would lose it

Isla Cooper2026-06-19T01:09:56.000Z

glad something's happening, but $250k barely covers a roof tile. need way more than that

Isla Cooper2026-06-19T01:17:56.000Z

cry more, at least they're spending money here instead of on spaceships

Peyton Hall2026-06-19T01:19:56.000Z

hopefully this means it'll be done before i'm dead. been a hole in the ground long enough.

Morgan Lee2026-06-19T01:26:56.000Z

ngl i'd rather see the money go to housing or mental health but whatever

RNZ2026-06-19T01:39:56.000Z

oh great now we'll have to listen to mormon missionaries brag about it. can't escape them.

Morgan Lee2026-06-19T02:28:56.000Z

missionaries are already circling the square like sharks lol

Hana Stewart2026-06-19T01:45:56.000Z

just paint a giant rainbow on it and call it a day, people will still go 'wow what a landmark'

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T02:11:56.000Z

haha true, but a rainbow cathedral would actually be pretty cool
