He is undoubtedly sincere (if misguided) and I'm sure the old ladies who probably make up the bulk of his congregation love him.<br /><br />Long before Vatican II there was concern about the educational level of Irish clergy, and the current shortage of candidates for the priesthood has meant the bar has been further lowered.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-87724999084411446812020-07-03T17:42:27.154-04:002020-07-03T17:42:27.154-04:00To play off what ByzRC said, I was reading an arti...To play off what ByzRC said, I was reading an article about architecture not long ago. They did studies and found almost everyone, regardless of culture, subconsciously responds better to traditional architecture (with "traditional" basically encompassing all world architecture prior to the modernism of the 20th century - so western, asian, etc). They basically found that a lot of modern architecture heightens the anxiety of those who experience it. The only significant group to react better to modernism was those who had studied art and architecture and therefore knew what it was supposed to mean and how to react to it.<br /><br />The difference, they believed, was that traditional buildings focus on human-scale ornament and decoration giving people something to look at and relate to (like patterns and decorative painting) while modern buildings focus more on the overall form of the building while making it plain at the human level.Lucky Horseshoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-35496299038827686762020-07-03T16:55:16.466-04:002020-07-03T16:55:16.466-04:00I haven't had the time to look at the video. ...I haven't had the time to look at the video. The goofy welcome sign is probably helping me to not make the time. Regarding the WWII footage, when something IS relevant, constant reminders about its relevance and constant attempts to force relevance upon it are unnecessary. <br /><br />I'm reminded of a parish, proudly VII per their own description, that had a virtual guided tour of their church linked to their website's homepage. With the church's interior and exterior being more brutalist, there were endless descriptions of what its abstract furnishings symbolized and how one should react to them. They celebrated the tabernacle being off to the side on a minimalistic shelf with little adornment. My feeling: If you can't tell what it is by looking at it, if you can't recognize the symbolism without a description and if you have to be told how to react, it's likely bad design (probably ego-driven as well) particularly from an ecclesiastical perspective.

As far as music goes I think most here know that I love old folk music. The Relatively new tunes such as Little Black Train, Angel Band, and O Death along with the older tunes like Willow Garden and its American cousin, On the Banks of the Ohio have solid morals and even passable theology. The priest should learn the EF low Mass and how play the bouzouki. Then he can compartmentalize his passions. Conduct a reverent Mass then adjourn to the Parish Hall to sing songs that reenforce the readings with dire consequences. Our ARS crafts beer and spirits and the KofC can make sandwiches. Separate the events or you muddle the message. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-2975333414080513812020-07-03T07:18:08.036-04:002020-07-03T07:18:08.036-04:00I was raised on the OF Mass so I'm use to some...I was raised on the OF Mass so I'm use to some abuses...but that Liverpool mass is beyond words.
