    The Madman and the Cathedral is a documentary about one mans dream to build a cathedral.
    In 1963, Don Justo Gallego Martinez laid the foundation stone of a cathedral. A peasant, with no architectural training, no construction experience and no tools, he turned his back on the fields and started building. He had no blueprints and no planning permission. He had not even seen many cathedrals. All he had was the unshakeable conviction that God wanted him to build a cathedral.

    Si el mundo es lo que ahora es, es gracias a los locos que no supimos entender, lo que este hombre hace es admirable, espero que lo acabé y que algún día lo podamos apreciar, eso si, éste hombre ya se ganó un lugar en la historia.

    Este es el homenaje prometido... La interpretación prometida como homenaje a Justo...El Ave María de Caccini. Para Justo Gallego, constructor infatigable y gran visionario que con solo sus manos, sus ganas y su voluntad consiguió llevar a cabo la idea de construir una Catedral en Mejorada del Campo...
    En su memoria está interpretación grabada y realizada en la Catedral que edificó con su gran esfuerzo, en homenaje a su persona.. Interpretada por un dúo de cuerda (guitarra y violín) y soprano... HASTA SIEMPRE JUSTO

    I was there yesterday and it's absolutely awesome.
    It touches. His chatedral transmits what a lot of churches with great budget and luxury would like to do.
    Humble, Hard-worker and tenacious, he's a example of fight and effort.
    My respects (and my little modest help to finish his work. At least a small group of people is helping him with their job, once he's already 89).

    If you don't agree with the mass you're out of the group. So typical of any religion. He had a dream he tried to fulfill. People are more comfortable when everyone fits into the circle but not everyone is round. Sometimes there's one very different soul with many facets and it's the odd man out. It was his money and he chose what he wanted to do with it. He followed his heart. Good for him.

    Right. lets get 200, 000 viewings, then make this go viral. Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is just as intricate as this. Don Justo is a genius, lets see that we can give him the necessary support worldwide. Dammit people, what the heck is wrong with society these days. People are still coming from all over to work on the Sagrada Familia, and all this work of Don Justo , this will be left to disappear ??? Grow up, it's not about religion, it's about belief, it's about faith, it's about architectural genius!!! A true masterpiece. Come-on!!, a million hits for this hard working mans work!!! We can all do it.. Make the world aware!! Make Spain aware, be proud that people like this exist!!

    @MrExspectator 12 років тому +5

    The feat is remarkable for one man, but I have my concerns. I think Justo puts more emphasis on construction of a physical building, than sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the people that come to see him, as could be seen in his actions (i.e. yelling and chasing people out). This problem plagues Christianity systemically. I understand this man's sincerity though.
    Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you, so you can know Him directly! Jesus calls us into a relationship, not a religion!

    When he returned to the village he didn't talk to anyone.
    Then he decides to build a Cathedral so that people will gather and worship God.
    I think that this explains everything.
    Also, in this short version, there are some things that are missing,
    like, his relatives have sued his assistant for abducting him.
    Probably meaning that the assistant manipulates him somehow for some financial gain.

    @sangwria Your atheism is as much a position of faith as the most fundamentalist Christian. You can't prove there is no God - to do that, you'd have to know everything - that would make you God, which it could be said, perhaps you are in your own eyes. A definition of 'god' or 'a god' is "that which is the most important factor in the life decisions you make". If you are ambitious, success is your god. If you want to get rich, money is your god.

    @sangwria ...and science is not a 'weapon' that can disprove God. Science describes, but doesn't explain. Explanations derived from science are (mostly) speculations. In fact, a universe created by a loving, inventive logical, orderly God is what makes science possible; which is why the whole scientific activity until the early-mid 19th century was carried out by bible-believing Christians, who believed that God made the universe logically explorable.

    Inspiring for his work ethic.
    But this man has issues.
    Everyone has. But what his mother says is true.
    He would have user his efforts better for a family, a business that provides real needs of his fellow people.
    He worships a religion created as a slave proxy of Juwish supremacists to make the enslaved worship them and their pseudo-history.
    However nothing takes away the monument that he has created.
    Sadly that monument also represents a waste of blood annd sweat, opportunity in my eyes.
    At least people can marvel at his work. RIP

    @sangwria You can take naturalism as a 'hypothesis', or (the biblical) God as a hypothesis. As such, evidence and logic from all aspects (science, philosophy, ethics, metaphysics etc) greatly favours the God hypothesis (Edgar Andrews). Anecdotal evidence greatly favours the God hypothesis. Personal experience greatly favours the God hypothesis. I recommend you attempt speaking honestly to God (either as Yahweh or Jesus the Christ), ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a personal way. He will.
