Is that a serious question?

Can you honestly not see the theological and moral value in charity over architecture?

We are called to give. We are not called to build palaces for Him. Our ultimate goal is to spread the Gospel — is that goal better served by serving those in need, or by building pretty churches?

Our works do not determine our Salvation ... but our works can contribute to the Salvation of another. Our buildings are just buildings ... functionality is necessary, ostentatiousness is excessive and embarrasing.

Spot and I spend a lot of time in God's handiwork. It surpasses anything man can conquer, or despoil. The idea that God lives in any man made structure, or appreciates anything more than the whispers from our closets, is not confusing.

Man is always trying to think of himself as smarter than God... and art becomes confused with creation. Catholics churches are as gilt as whorehouses...
