Sainte Chapelle in Paris is one of the most beautiful churches I've seen. On the second floor, where kings worshipped, there is more glass than masonry, and the light and colour through the stained glass windows is like standing in rainbows.
Here are some sites with pictures and more information:

I love this Church, the story of this Church is amazing, you can get inside and see the actual piece of wood with the Virgin and baby Jesus. Absolutely beautiful. Also try Iglesia de Santa Barbara, it's just across the street. In the pictures you can see the Basilica and the square across the stre with a big sculpture of the Virgen de Chiquinquirá in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

The Vatican is beautiful; it is its own city in Italy! Visit there someday. Perhaps you will meet the Pope himself. :) I don't quite know if it qualifies as a "church" but the sistine chapel does, so visit it nearby!

--is Catholic--
There are several that I like simply for their quiet reverence but they do not have pics on line.
Though for eye-poping beauty try the Basilica of St. Josaphat

None, they all suck. The Catholic church wastes so much money and asks for more when their people are broke & hungry.
