Wow, this is amazing piece of history and work of art. I wasn't sure what to expect when visiting,…read morebut I had looked this place up online and saw there was a welcome center specifically for tourists who may not be there for worship, but just to enjoy this piece of history. There are walking tour brochures as well as audio tours. I think if you have a large group you can request a docent, but it might cost extra. Since I was on a tight schedule, I opted for the self-guided walking tour with the brochure. There are 17 stops in the self guided tour in the main level of the Basilica. It is breathtaking in the scale and detail of the architecture. I saw several people sitting in the pews and taking it all in. In the Undercroft (Lower Level), there is a history exhibit with large banners describing all the work and conservation that needed to happen to create and preserve the Basilica. There are also restrooms and the Lower Church (used for daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, etc). Be sure to not disturb the daily Mass as this is primarily a place of worship.

It's no secret that hypocrisy is rampant in religion, but even a place that holds so many noble social stances will turn their backs on the vulnerable when it's not something that they can use to ensure the paychecks clear. All the talk about love and wisdom at this place is nothing but blatant hypocrisy on a biblical scale. If you're looking for a social club and some assumingely generally good people this might be a decent place. I can't say I know any of the members to vouch for this, but I would imagine a place with these social stances would draw pretty decent people, but that's all this place is: a social club. If you want to find God go directly to the vulnerable people that this place pushes away. Someone that's teetering on the edge of going to meet him, with all the humility and introspection that comes with those circumstances will be able to tell you far, far more than someone that collects a paycheck to ensure people keep coming back. Find someone that gave up everything in the pursuit of finding God if you can, not someone that pays their bills by talking like they did. As far as I can tell the latter will always disappoint. I can't say with any honesty that I can point you to a better church at which to find those values, but maybe volunteer at a homeless shelter if you're looking to find God... as far as I can tell he stopped going to church a long, long time ago.
