"Actually...a "Velvet Elvis" Catholicism might be a slight improvement on some of the garish ultra-mod silliness the fringe libs have thrown up in some of these churches. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have an art problem. I really don't understand why bishops have not imposed some sane guidelines on sacred art/architecture to be followed (which they atucally enforce). We can't allow cabals to trash our churches."

Have you ever seen any of the so-called "art" on the cover of OCP's Today's Liturgy or the music books the organist and cantor use? Generally, it's a closeup, and it almost invariably looks like somebody's practice pieces. Tacky, banal, sophomoric, slipshod, abstract in the extreme. Sigh...
