The construction project and especially its location have been subject of heated national debates. The current project explicitly displays architectural detail from all Romanian provinces and territories.

Select committees of the Romanian Senate and the Mayor of Bucharest had been reviewing different variants well in advance of October 2004. This edifice will also serve as the Cathedral for the Patriarchate of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Famous quotes containing the words people, salvation and/or cathedral:

    For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.
    Jeni Couzyn (b. 1942)

    There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    ... and met
    At numerous cathedral cities
    Unknown to the clergy.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
