Across the harbour from Cobh Cathedral the North Cathedral in Cork was vandalised by the liturrgical refurbishers,,,
Unfortunately this is another classical example of the after being worse than the before..BEFORE
AFTER
November 14, 2005 at 4:33 am in reply to: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches #767287Neo GothParticipantWill what happened to the cathedral in Monaghan be the fate of St. Colman’s?
The following is the ‘rationale’ from the official website of Clogher diocese for the iconoclastic ‘refurbishment’.
A radical rearrangement and refurbishing of the Cathedral was begun in 1982 to meet
the requirements of the revised Liturgy.The people of Monaghan were told a big lie… people of Cobh beware this lie is long past its tell by date!
The pic below is the architect’s view of the ‘refurbished’ sanctuary of St. Colman’s

Does the ambo have hot and cold taps? Will the new liturgical furnishings for the cathedral in Cobh be the same? There doesn’t seem to be any details given about these.

It’s easy to spot them though, they usually go around with iron bars and sometimes they try to disguise and hide their iron bars in the most unusal of places.
November 12, 2005 at 10:40 pm in reply to: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches #767269Neo GothParticipantI suppose hooligans always have a few iron bars to spare … I suppose this is a form of regressive inculturation.
November 12, 2005 at 5:26 pm in reply to: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches #767258Neo GothParticipantSo the proposed changes necessitate the destruction of the mosaic floor of the cathedral but what will be put there in its place? Does the architect favour the bathroom tile model of the cathedral in Killarney?
November 12, 2005 at 3:51 am in reply to: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches #767254Neo GothParticipantI guess most people on this thread have visited the brilliant website by the Friends of St Colman’s Cathedral at http://www.foscc.com my compliments to the friends for trying to stop this latest outbreak of architectural vandalism.
Neo-Goths of the world unite and strike back!
