Congratulations!
Cathedral interiors are one subject that really benefits from a well
done (photo-realistic) HDR treatment. Large dynamic range.

Maybe not Sagrada Família... unlike most cathedrals, it's new and
clean inside; white on white on white; with brilliant stained-glass.

By the way, if anyone is anywhere near the bottom left corner of
Europe, I totally recommend a visit.  I would say that this church,
and then the Alhambra just down the road in Granada, are two of the
most intense visual experiences of my life.  A couple of shots of the
Alhambra from back in the nineties:

and http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/199x/1999/04/15/-big/Filigree.jpg.html
- taken, I think, on a very early 640x480 digital camera.  -T

to a Professor of Patristic Theology at Cambridge University for use

BTW, she found it because I put the pic in a Wikipedia article.

theologians are real people studying a non-existent subject. Theologists
don't even exist themselves.

theologist is not a word in any of my dictionaries.

Theologians' books are listed on the New York Times Bestsellers list. 
Theologists' books are read only by divinity students.

By the way, Gregory of Nazianzus was my favourite. He could cram more angels

doubts about his attitude toward apocatastasis. I expect you do too.
