A couple of them are so bad, you expect to see the clown's head pop out.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-62131291044785104082010-08-17T20:27:05.114-04:002010-08-17T20:27:05.114-04:00Of Course Father the one in Macon is beautiful.

It makes one wonder when it will ever end. It just does not resemble what the Church has been like for centuries. Those tabernacles yield no beauty. It is like staring at a paint splotch and trying to find the meaning behind it all as art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-88984214116585178892010-08-17T19:40:37.243-04:002010-08-17T19:40:37.243-04:00Paul - You are correct in saying that the appearan...Paul - You are correct in saying that the appearance of a tabernacle us not regulated.Pater Ignotusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-37671759877106930372010-08-17T16:07:32.430-04:002010-08-17T16:07:32.430-04:00One, near the end of the list, looks like a TV!

The tabernacle is for the reservation of Christ the King, you would think his raiment would be a little more "kingly" than those hideous things. Those modern tabernacles look more disposed for the reservation of a circus clown and not the Blessed Sacrament. <br /><br />Perhaps the Kingship of Christ the King is out of "fashion" too these days.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-50167330149664691272010-08-17T10:11:16.808-04:002010-08-17T10:11:16.808-04:00Most of them look like the hood ornament off a ...Most of them look like the hood ornament off a '49 Packard.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
