The part about Co-Cathedrals was confusing to me, as I suppose it is to a lot of non-Catholics. From looking at Wikipedia, seems like the basic gist is that the congregation outgrew St. Theresa Church so a bigger church was built that acts not only as a church but also headquarters for the diocese. Did I come anywhere close to getting that right? Maybe the Catholics on here can pitch in.
Also, I’m not very familiar with how Catholics do the funeral service. Is communion/mass just part of the funeral service or is it a separate thing that follows the funeral service?
I’m sure the thing in the middle is a baptismal font. The idea is that the congregants be reminded of their baptism as they enter the sanctuary. That’s the layout for some Lutheran churches as well.
I need to do some real life (lol) but when I get back I’ll try to look at the video from that wedding so I can get a better feel for how the Co-Cathedral is laid out. Definitely confusing.
Maybe Catholics can weigh in. I have been in Catholic churches for baptisms, marriages, funerals. Never saw a baptismal font in the middle of the church, always in the back of church. That’s not to say that it’s not done; I’ve just never seen it myself. I do know that Cathedrals are seats of a bishop, as opposed to a parish church with a priest as pastor. It would be interesting to know what that priest thinks about “Deliana” practicing Subud.
