Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Johnglas agrees that it is a pity that the internal shots of St Joseph’s do not include the sanctuary area: could that be because it has been ‘reordered’ and does not now match the quality of the rest of the building? We hope not. (It’s a delicious irony that St J’s has survived while the upmarket SJ church is now, we believe, closed – not that we would wish any church closed.)
We do not share your enthusiasm for some baroque/rococo pulpits, but it is amazing that Krakow survived WWII intact and that all these gems were preserved. One minor gripe: the magnificent Mariackiego (Catholic>Lutheran>Catholic) would surely now regard itself as being firmly in Gdansk rather than Danzig.
