I find them cosy. But I would prefer it if the altar/sanctuary was against the wall (Tabernacle in the middle), so that you don't see the people behind. They remind me of the Templar churches. What's good enough for the Templars, is OK for me...<br /><br />The name of the Church in the pic above, "St Gilbert of Sempringham", so-o does not go with that Church. With a name like that, one would expect it to be some kind of ancient edifice, a Norman arched doorway, heavy oak door, creaky, bent floorboards, that familiar smell of wax, ancient stone stain-glass windows, solid stone carved altar... Now if they built that new round church in a pseudo-Templar style I'd be happy.<br /><br />...Then I get woken up from my reverie and hear a voice in the distance crying out that the Templars were so baaad. We must apologise... for the Templars, the Cruuuuuuusaaaaades...

Even when sitting so as to not twist your neck (angled seats), there was still the matter of seeing the people across from you and your eyes could not help but see what they were doing. That is when I started to pray with a 1962 missal and learned the Vetus Ordo! The priest would walk around the inner circle like a caged animal and say things like, "I know mass is good when I am having fun and I am having fun."<br /><br />I moved away from that town and those two CINO parishes.M.

Both were in communities which had expanded suddenly and exponentially and the idea was that a Catholic community centre was needed in the fight against godlessness.<br /><br />In the one in Wales, it was hard for the local Baptists to separate out the relative iniquities of alcohol and dancing, and both on Sundays, and in a church at that.Ttonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185875893212146794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-87829774806967722912014-07-01T20:06:22.759+01:002014-07-01T20:06:22.759+01:00ALL

Its all part of a reductionism of the Faith. And it all started with Vat2. What have our shepherds done to us??<br />Pope Francis gives the impression of a priest who has risen to the top job. Soon after his visit to the Holy land and meeting in Rome with a Rabbi and a Mullah all friendly equal etc. . We get three israeli teenagers mercylessly murdered.
