Give us back our glorious Catholic architecture

Teresa puts the point across perfectly:

last night i was at SMOTA for the maundy thursday service. when i was there, it felt kinda surreal. i think it’s the architecture. it’s zen, it’s functional, it’s fashionable. but something about it, everything about it felt like it was… incomplete? the closest i can get to describing how i felt about the time spent at SMOTA is to honestly admit that the line ‘there’s no place like home’ kept ringing in my mind. home being olps. despite all the humanly things that happen there that have me sometimes dreading belonging there, olps still felt right. at SMOTA, i felt like a visitor, a spectator. hmm. strange though right, cos we’re a universal church. but please, what about preserving some of the good old church architecture we can be proud of? the stuff at SMOTA though highly fashionable and breath-taking, is the stuff i want in my home, not in my church. :X
