Luzarches, I see you are a student of architecture and are interested in writing a book on the before and after stories. What a great idea. You may be interested to read a book written by a Michael Rose entitled Ugly as Sin. How they changed our churches from sacred spaces to meeting places and how we can change them back again. Published by sophia press. Mostly written about America but has a piece about the Main door of cobh cathedral, Ireland. It would be very interesting to see one written about the churches in ireland. Hopefully, cobh cathedral will NOT be included though!!!!!:rolleyes:
Well done for showing the beautiful mosaics in Cobh. It seems madness. But then what do these people know about beauty! They have eyes but they cannot see, ears but they cannot hear. What a dreadful shame. ! I hope those whose job it is to protect these beautiful mosaics and structures have eyes and ears to hear and see what the “ignorant” people of Cobh and County are saying. Education howareyou!!!:(
Sangallo, Will Cobh Cathedral remain in tact!!! A million dollar question? And a couple of million dollar job in the making if the Bishop has his way. Imagine a church which still uses the high altar.!! I thought this was liturigically incorrect!!!!!! according to the Bishops in ireland anyway!
:rolleyes:Ake, oh yes there are many bothered about the commercialization of our Churches. But like everything else, what can one do. Have you seen the Augustinian Church in Limerick City, Ireland. One wonders where it is all going. I suppose they are trying to compete with Sunday Shopping!!!! 😎
Hurrah to those involved. Maybe with an oral hearing the truth about the reasons for this vandalism will be unearthed!!. And maybe other Churches will be spared the hammer and compressor!:) Good luck.
🙂 ‘Mosaic1’ , thank you for the information, I look forward with anticipation to the publication of the materials mentioned. Thanks 😉
Has anybody seen or mentioned Holy Trinity in Cork City
what a disaster. Fortunately St. Peter’s and Paul’s in Cork City seems to have escaped all vandalism so far! Has anybody pictures of Holy Trinity in Cork City before the vandals got in?Does anyone know where one can obtain any published works on Ludwig Oppenheimer or of his firm. Thanks.
Well Graham, at least St. Patrick’s in Dudalk still retains the beautiful italian altar rails and brass gates insitu and though the homebase altar is quite disturbing, the sanctuary hasn’t quite been turned into a disney ice rink!!!
Or what about Wexford, does anyone know if this Cathedral of Pugin design has been laid bare to the vandals?
