Re: The Cathedral of St. Carthage, Armidale, Australia.

Interesting sanctuary grille, it looks more like a cage for a wild animal. Are they trying to protect the people from the old altar or the other way round? The liturgical consultant involved has poetically described the dichotomy between the active prescence of Christ in the mass and His abiding prescence in the tabernacle. I know I find the presence of Christ in the tabernacle to be the single most distracting thing when I go to mass.
