There are even proportions not currently observed but present in older churches. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-18661820072323466812021-07-31T18:30:41.790-04:002021-07-31T18:30:41.790-04:00The problem with the before is that it is very hor...The problem with the before is that it is very horizontal. Even though the new high altar clashes it does have the vertical look which is more appealing. I wonder if more work is intended to make the sanctuary a bit more harmonious. Although as we know you can have a Gothic style church with a baroque altar.

After V2 they only pulled the altar away from the wall and put a horrible throne like chair behind it and of course the tabernacle moved to Mary’s side altar.Fr. Allan J.

For its era, I did not think the before was bad btw. With all the churches that have closed, it is a shame they either could not have located, or, decided against repurposing fixtures more appropriate to the style of this building.
