It is now 17 years since the beginning of the restoration of the cathedral, and it finally dawned on some that rate of limestone melt is higher then the rate of cathedral restoration. A flurry of fund raising ensued, such as selling of restored church property in the historic district of town to new shopping/office centre being built by local general (who escaped to Austria when it was discovered that he may have taken a few bags of jewels when he left his office in Elbonian MoD few years ago), or prisoners gathering used PET bottles for recycling (about 12 bottles for a US dollar). Somehow that did not raise quite as much money as was needed, so more radical solutions are contemplated. Current church officials are talking about opening a restaurant/beerhouse in one of the old defensive cathedral towers. Supposedly it will not only bring money for the restoration, but will also attract young believers back to the church.
If you think that this is slightly weird, you should know that famous elbonian Cathedral of Đakovo has a chimney sticking out of it.
