How we pray is how we believe and how we live. In some ways the "beige Catholic" churches as you have brilliantly observed are devoid of the majesty and richness of the churches and cathedrals built in centuries past. Built for God's honor and glory, these edifices were worthy homes for Our Lord and His Sacrifice.
It is truly inspiring to see that the modern churches are undergoing a reshaping and modern Catholicism may be doing the same.
Thanks for the piece. Abp. Sample is a wonderful Shepherd for us in the PacNW.
