Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

apelles; When I was (much) younger and visited Dublin only very occasionally, I recall that St Saviour’s was always one of my favourite stopping points. On a more recent visit, I wondered why I had liked it but found it all so soulless now. Well, now I know.
Why don’t most religious orders and PPs just move out of their churches and just rent barns or warehouse units on anonymous industrial estates more suited to their aesthetic understanding?
