So - you think prayer works, but instead of praying that your god finally stop child rape, end starvation, or even just extinct mosquitoes - its no, let me be free to inflict my imaginary friend beliefs on others without blowback. stop for just one moment and consider 1. how evil and selfish that is and 2. that if your god yawns with indifference at child rape and the holocaust, why would he intervene with the "free will" of people in India, for you? (and save all your "sky daddy isn't evil, people are" apologetics. your imaginary friend loves free will too much to intervene - who's free will? obviously not the child being rapped and murdered, he chose a free will side, and it was the rapists). BTW, your own bible commands you in Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray [in public] to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray..." and yet here you are, flagrantly disobeying this command of your god. typical "christian", cherry pick, ignore what you don't like, and then claim how righteous and persecuted you are for it. Plus, the absurdity of your imaginary friend knows you're being "persecuted" right? But he's not going to do anything about it, until you what....get enough literal FB likes? Until you TELL your god what to do, cuz he don't know no better?? grow up.

According to Apostolic church tradition where we get all doctrine ultimately, Churches are supposed to represent the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. (yes that includes the building itself) That is why we have an altar in the sanctuary and holy imagery everywhere to celebrate the Mass with all the Saints in Heaven above. Therefore if when I look at a building if I can't immediately recognize it as a church, you did your job wrong. Worship is not only in attendance. To be able to worship with all your spirit(heart), you must elevate all 5 of your senses with sight being a pretty important one...

[@Ceylin_Kurtbogan]

Taste: We consume the Body and Blood of Christ to be one with him in that very moment. As becoming One with him is the only salvation since there is no Mediator between us and God but Christ who himself is God. Smell: We smell incense throughout the liturgy and offer Christ a mix of myrrh and frankincense inside a golden censer (forgot their Latin name, I am Orthodox) since these are the gifts Magi offered to God's salvation on the day of his Birth before worshipping him. Hearing: We hear sacred music sanctified by the Church which is the liturgical chants such as Byzantine/Gregorian etc to elevate our hearts and pray the psalms with more intend. Sight: We look at beautiful design and Holy Imagery which is created for representing the spiritual truths existing in heaven above. We try to make everything look like it is heaven on earth (to the best of our ability) Touch: We cross ourselves for blessings, kneel, prostrate in various parts of the Liturgy to utilize our touch sense and more broadly to move our entire bodies. Remove them and you slow by slow lose all spirituality. Today I see a big decline in spirituality in Latin church. Everything seems to be too rationalistic and also political.

I'd be surprized if you don't regret your choice of words, "to propose or build a new structure in the classical style is just plain stupid". How is it "stupid" to want to build a church in the "classical style" ? I suppose by "classical" you're not referring to Greco-Roman style like the US capitol, or the Supreme court building. The 10 buildings surveyed in this video do not appeal to most Catholics or even to non-Catholics. They're odd, and not in keeping with the Catholic tradition. I used to work within walking distance of both the Oakland and Los Angeles cathedrals. I do like the Oakland cathedral, but think the stark concrete walls on the interior of the church, the first 10 feet from floor level up, are cold and appear incomplete. I wish the builders had covered them with panelling or some other "wamer" surface. The Los Angeles cathedral is hopeless. It ought to be converted to apartments.

[@howardoller443]

It looked as though the saints were on a journey to the altar, ready to embrace the presence of the Lord in the Eucharist. All the saints are looking towards the altar on their journey. While many people may find fault with its design, it has its own beauty. Also, the Christ Cathedral in Orange County (used to be Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral), was purchased by the diocese because it was actually less expensive to renovate the building to be in line with Catholic worship needs, than it would be to construct an entire new building.

[@artifexdei3671]

@howardoller443 really, if you want to attract people to engage in the venture - do you attract them based on appealing standards or crap? Do car manufacturers attract buyers by certain features in the vehicles that are appealing or not? Do people go to shopping to nice looking malls or run down decrepit and failing shopping centre's? Do nice cities attract residents or people move to run-down areas rife with crime and degeneracy? Praying in a bare concrete bunker vs. nicely ornated and warm interior makes an experience positive or negative. Perhaps there are some that don't pay any attention to building esthetics but people are drawn to beauty in all areas of life, and that means sacred spaces too.

[@howardoller443]

[@DickyMorin]

Buildings built in the Modern style are usually abstract sculptures that display the genius of the wonderfully gifted architects. Being so creative means avoiding traditional architectual styles, building methods and building styles. The architects frequently don't know how things are really built.They, therefore, end up with horrendous cost over runs, endless delays, and with the clients' wishes trumped by the architects' considerable egos. I find churches built in the Modern style to be cold, boring, and even depressing. There is no human warmth, or holy inspiration. Some can only be recognized as churches by a single cross someplace. Think of how a new church built in the traditional style would cost less and be inspirational, warm and inviting. Think of the poor and homeless that could have been fed and given shelter with the millions wasted on trash heaps pictured.

Brutalism and Deconstructivism. The words themselves say harsh and unforgiving.

[@HolaKylie]

The Architectural design of a Church matters to me only in these aspects: (1) whether The Holy Eucharist holds Centrality in the worship space; (2) whether the interiors allow more room and focus for interior prayer more than just satiating the senses via mesmerizingly magnificent but distracting statues, symbols, ornate decorations or whatever else; (3) whether the space evokes Sanctity minus excessive decorations; (4) whether the space evokes the atmosphere of community, thereby encouraging greater participation. The rest, IMHO, therefore, are unnecessary distractive additives. What makes the Church beautiful are the lively participatory worship and the interior dispositions of every churchgoer grounded on openness and kindness towards others just the way Jesus was when He Walked His Talk here on earth. So, to put it frankly: it isn't really the edifice that matters most but rather the people running it and using it, and the how's and why's of the goings-on in there. Today in the 3rd Millennium, it is high time for Catholics to re-direct their gaze and focus on creating a balance between interiority (silent meditation, reflection) and active participatory spirituality, both anchored on the Eucharistic Christ in Scripture and in action, while stepping slowly away from the usual visual and aesthetic feast for the senses we've been used to since the traditional gothic, renaissance and baroque periods of Catholic arts. This too is necessary in the further fulfillment of Vatican 2's aggiornamento, opening more windows than closing doors. The keys are openheartedness and acceptance.

[@st.michaelthearchangelorth1055]

"the feast for the senses" as you put it, is an expression of the Incarnation. There was beauty in worship way before the gothic period. frescoes in the Roman catacombs attest to this. Man is not a disembodied spirit unaffected by his visible surroundings-that is the height of Jansenism.

[@Shskfjekdnf38587]

The thing is, there is no one proper church style. Baroque was “new” in Europe when it was nothing but Gothic churches.

[@BradyHayes-w8m]

True, but unlike the secular liberals, Catholics recognize that beauty has an objective quality, because beauty is one of the 3 transcendentals that are characteristic of God. The gothic and baroque styles which emerged within a distinctly Catholic culture are objectively MUCH more beautiful than these more modern styles produced by a more secular culture.

[@Darkness33333]

Wow. I actually like the creativity of some of these churches. They better reflect our times. Do you think Gothic churches are the only acceptable church design?

[@edwardbaker1331]

Churches should not reflect "times." They don't exist to reward human vanity. Truth is timeless, eterhnal, and immutable because it is entirely the reflection of the mind of God.

Another extremely ugly Church is Saint Atanasius in Reading mass. Oddly enough while the outside looks like a math experiment gone wrong, the inside does deliver more than expected. One of the former pastors a Father Colarusso did his best to being it in line with the traditions of Catholic worship. Another underwhelming modern masterpiece is Saint Josephs in Wakefield MA. Once, ages ago I had my one of my sons in the car. As we passed Saint joseph's I blessed myself and he said why are you blessing yourself? I answered that we had just passed a church. His response was, "that's a church????". As to needing to build a new cathedral because the old once is damaged or too expensive to repair, when the clergy desire to make a statement about how relevant they are and seek worldly approbation for their enlightened, progressive taste they will sometime cloak their intentions behind stories that might not be completely true. The fact that many Catholics have exited the church because of the aggiornamento carnival at least means that the ugly buildings can be easily sold for steak houses, ice skating rinks or rock concert venues without the new owners having to spend a lot in renovations. Every cloud has a silver lining
