Cathedral High School is a new school in the North County Coastal area (very expensive real estate) and was built after the diocese closed down University of San Diego High School--a move that drew a great deal of protest. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the barren, Protestant look of the chapel reflects the architectural tendencies that have dominated my poor hometown diocese for the last 20 years or so. If you go into any church built in the last 20 years there, you will not find the Blessed Sacrament visible without searching for it. Instead, there are mandated "Blessed Sacrament Adoration Chapels", some of which are hard to find. In one church in Escondido (a community about 25 miles north of the city) the "chapel" is more like a closet. One Church in National City (a largely Hispanic community) burned down and when they rebuilt they wanted to keep the tabernacle visible and were told that they HAD to do this "adoration chapel" thing so that the "static" Presence of the Eucharist would not compete with the "active" Presence at Mass. In another parish, they raised money to expand and renovate their church advertising that they were going to restore the tabernacle to the center, only to be told by the liturgical stormtroopers at the diocese that they were in violation of policy--after the diocese had agreed to let them do it. You can read about that here: http://www.adoremus.org/0702News.html <br /><br />Hopefully, this silliness is about to end once and for all. But it seems as though the closer we get to the REAL renewal and reform the Holy Father wants for us, the more determined these artery-hardened liberals are to institutionalize their barren vision of the Church.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-67903132980466572922012-12-13T08:25:39.534-05:002012-12-13T08:25:39.534-05:00Maybe if you can get the Bishop to Confirm the rat...Maybe if you can get the Bishop to Confirm the rat you will never see him again. qwiknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439450727837308035noreply@blogger.com
