Looking around at the dismal buildings that have been presented as Catholic churches over the last 50 years, one has to ask where on earth the architects, designers, and liturgists got their ideas.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have to look far. G. K. Chesterton said, \u201cEvery argument is a theological argument,\u201d and the modern churches clearly reflect the beliefs of their builders. First, the builders and their buildings are fundamentally utilitarian. Driven by the unquestioned modernist dogma that \u201cform follows function,\u201d they have designed not churches but auditoria. Everyone can see the altar; the sound system is excellent; the toilets are capacious and clean. The air conditioning works, and the roof does not leak, and (most important of all) the building was not expensive.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to whether the church should be beautiful or not, the building committee adopts the doctrine of Judas: \u201cWhy should the money be spent on costly ointment when it could be given to the poor?\u201d In other words, let\u2019s cut out all that beautiful stuff; it\u2019s too expensive. We need a few statues and vestments \u2014 but cheap, mass produced stuff will do. But too often, once the cheap choice is made, they forget that the money saved was to go to the poor, and the savings are merely pocketed.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the liturgists, who tell us that the Mass is all about \u201cgathering the people of God for a fellowship meal.\u201d Therefore, everyone must sit around the altar as a family. I heard one trendy priest explain, \u201cWhen I am celebrating Mass, I am like the shaman telling stories around the campfire with the whole tribe gathered around me.\u201d On this pretext, on Holy Saturday, this priest brought the new fire into the sanctuary of the church itself. I suppose it was unsurprising, therefore, when he built a church that resembled a large brick tepee. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeg skrev nettopp om kirken de planlegegr \u00e5 bygge i Fr.
