Some Church Architectural Styles Really Are Profane

. . .architecture speaks, &, like a homily or proclamation of scripture, it can change us profoundly.  It preaches & teaches every time we enter a church building.  When it speaks truth it reminds us that God is central, & that we are broken & in need of a savior who offers us a place of eternal unity with God.  It reveals to us that we are on hallowed ground & should act differently than we did before we entered.  It instinctively draws us to our knees, to worship, & to focus on him.  It tells us that God, in the greatest act of love ever known to man, has given his life for us by providing his son as a sacrifice for our sins. . .

Fr. Paul Kalchik: A Kind Of Martyr

. . .is Cardinal Cupich so completely unaware that he & the rest of the red robes are perceived as sixteenth-century prelates–living in their palaces, jet-setting off to Rome & mouthing pious words about immigrants & climate change while in fact an increasing number of the faithful regard them as corrupt, devious, Machiavellian Renaissance cardinals desperate to defend themselves & deflect all blame no matter what?  Did he think threatening a faithful priest would help? . . .
