Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Re St James’ Antwerp.

I knew of this church by way of a pre WW1 guide written on the churches of Belgium by the rather wonderful T Francis Bumpus. In it he expresses the hope that the ecclesiastical authorities would resist the temptation to remove this roodscreen (on the grounds of architectural taste rather than liturgical requirements…).

I’m pleased to discover that his wish has been granted.
