GOOD NEWS INDEED...
The wreckovation of Catholic churches may be near an end if Michael Rose has gotten a correct reading of the pulse of contemporary church architecture. In e-mail he quotes comments from "The Wanderer," saying:
"...a strong and healthy reaction is underway and, indeed, about to topple the Modernist movement that imposed so much architectural ugliness on unsuspecting 20th-century Catholics..."
That quote was in reference to his newest book addressing the subject. Titled IN TIERS OF GLORY, it has just been released. In conjunction with the book, he has launched a web journal, Dellachiesa.com to disseminate articles, resources, and projects pertaining to traditional church architecture, restoration, and preservation.
Need help finding an architect who will design a renovation that preserves the symbols of Catholicism? This is a good place to start. May the theories of E. A. Sovik and Richard Vosko never again strip the interior of another Catholic church of the symbols of the faith!
