No amount of Pomp and earthly splendor would impress the Lord of the Universe the most modest would impress him the same as a solid gold cathedral service complete with platinum pews.

The question is whether we better meet Christ in the Mass by soaring up to Him through the splendor of art and music, or by dragging Him down into our own pedestrian, workaday world. These New Agers and Vatican II "innovators" would replace holy intimacy with Christ with an unbecoming familiarity which discourages reverence in the face of mystery and extinguishes a sense of sacredness.
