Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Once again, Tribe presents a balanced article calling for the use of “continuity, beauty, and dignity” as criterion for what is to be properly used in a holy space and in the liturgy, rather than oversimplifying it to an “ancient versus modern” debate. Also praiseworthy is the call to move away from using “post-Conciliar” as a blanket term for “bad art” or “primitivism”. This caricature of the period of and following the 1960s is unhealthy and abused and its use seems to cause a great divide between many of the clergy, dividing many of the young and the old. Tribe’s ideas and suggestions are obviously not new, but they are definitely worthy of continued study.
