The first church you entered is truly Roman Catholic , the original church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, where The True Presence resides. The Basilica though is very modernist, clinical and cold, it's disappointing to say the least, it should be rebuilt to Roman Catholic standards (pre Vatican II - the modernist council) with a high alter and alter rails.
