The Inmaculata Church in the USA of the SSPX!
What do you think? Please note how clean it is, in terms of not being over decorated with plants, flowers, banners and other nonsense like candles placed in weird places. Also please note, how beautiful the altar cloth is and that it is correctly placed and doesn’t look like someone slept on it or trying to mimic a tablecloth on a kitchen table.
The Novus Ordo Mass could be celebrated in this church without changing one single thing. If only, if only, if only, the Novus Ordo Mass when manufactured by a papal committee with an agenda, had not had that agenda, but stated that the Novus Ordo should be celebrated in churches with no changes to the sanctuary, meaning that the Liturgy of the Eucharist would be ad orientem, even if the Introductory and Concluding Rites would be from the chair and the Liturgy of the Word as it is done in the Novus Ordo.
What a shame that that the Novus Ordo liturgical theologians destroyed the sanctuaries and entire naves of churches in the 70’s creating such resentment and anger and the loss of Catholics fed up with the iconoclasm going on in their parishes. This accounts, in large part, to the decline of the number of Catholics who actually attend Mass today!

Again, through my Byzantine Ruthenian lens:
It's stunning, a-z it's stunning.
It's refreshingly clean. No stuff just plopped down here and there.
It's properly oriented.
Wow, that ambo. I like when you can both see clearly and hear its occupant.
I like the cohesive mural art. The building's styling helps to avoid that pull a ripcord and every square inch is stenciled look.
Given other photos that are available online, it has 7 steps to the top of the top of the predella. It is likely a math-driven height that provides adequate sightlines from the rear of the nave.
The Roman Church lacks any particular style of which I am aware. This, however, really captures the Roman ethos effectively - everything has a place and everything is in its place.
Really well designed and executed. I hope the graces flow for those who occupy this space and likely do so enthusiastically. Who wouldn't?
Let us pray that God will send us shepherds who have the courage to celebrate the NO as you (and Vatican II) describe.
SSPX church need I say more.
And my parents say by and watched the destruction take place. I’m not my parents Catholic. Viva Cristo Rey
