It's worth pointing out that this is a bell built for the cathedral currently under construction in Romania and not just a trinket someone decided to buy on a whim.
Are they going to use the bell as an attraction? I thought most cathedrals don't allow you in the bell towers because they can be kind of dangerous. They could come to hear the bell though, so I guess thats something.

Yeah, and while poor people are just starving, they can look at the bell tower and say "that's a damn good bell tower."
The cathedral will feature a 1,000 person soup kitchen that will feed far more hungry people than you idiots sniveling about a fucking bell. You want to complain about something? Complain about an absurdly massive cathedral being built in the first place, not the cost of a single bell that's going into the cathedral.
The cathedral is estimated to cost about €200 million and while it does feature a 1000 person soup kitchen, its also boasts 2 hotels and a €425,000 bell. The cathedral is to be fitted with 5 other bells all of which total only €50,000, for all 5. A soup kitchen for 1000 wouldn't even help, 25% of the population live in poverty as Romania has the highest poverty rate in the EU. The cathedral will have 2 hotels, but they can't use those for homeless shelters? Not even one of the hotels?
