Symbolism

Some poor fool:
As we await today's major announcement from the OC, another sneak preview of what'll soon be the Catholic world's second-largest traditional instrument of worship....
Let us pause to snicker.

But HOLY SHIT the Crystal Cathedral is gonna be Catholic now.

God clearly thinks protestants aren't molesty enough.

From the Whackyweedia:
the establishment of a Vatican commission "to put a stop to garage style churches, boldly shaped structures that risk denaturing modern places for Catholic worship."

Apparently church leaders are concerned with outward symbols of consistent branding and brand distinction within the market, rather than the "gathering together in the eyes of God" aspect of worship. I am SHOCKED.

Kinda makes you sympathize with Martin Luther, but only for the briefest of moments.

Get Bruckheimer or Michael Bay on the fucking phone, that's GOLD, Jerry!

I suppose I should say that this mind-boggling post by some ebook marketer is what's making me think of Luther lately.

I rate for Bruno Taut's crystal architecture.

the establishment of a Vatican commission "to put a stop to garage style churches, boldly shaped structures that risk denaturing modern places for Catholic worship."

Seems that the Panzerpope does not approve of the laity out at the branch offices choosing their own architecture and their own decor. Next they will be wanting to read the Bibble translated into the vernacular. It is the start of the SMOOTH OILED FLANK, I mean the SLIPPERY SLOPE, cold shower now.

In the first few decades the few adherents of Christianity had a heck of a time building cathedrals, but by gum they got the job done because they didn't wanna worship in some crappy place unworthy of the liturgies they hadn't written yet.

I'll design them a church. I've got a great manufacturer for rotating knives.

If you hammer your theses on the correct door, the whole thing breaks.

...if it hasn't taken 200 years to build, it's not much of a cathedral
