Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Oh, Praxiteles, please stop! It pains me that worshipers in these churches might commit the sin of idolatry! Their souls are in danger! I dread to think; all those side altars, these people must have a warped view of the mass! We can’t allow our judment to be clouded by mere aestheticim here, those extraneous altars must be removed! And the rood-screens, don’t get me started! The people are being oppressed by these grotesque barriers, like having the Berlin Wall run straight through your church with the clerical elite cocooned in sanctuaries of luxury whilst the poor ignorant faithful shudder in draughty naves!

Those poor Belgians can’t really have been Catholics at all until 1965! And their numbers have, er…, gone from strength to strength!
