***Protestanization of its buildings***

That’s one I never heard. Could you explain?

Sure.

After Vatican II, there were sweeping changes to the appearance of many things about the church buildings.

I’ve referred to Protestant prayer barns inasmuch as they are simply plainer and set up more like a stage and audience rather than having an altar.

They started removing the tabernacle from front and center, sometimes moving it out of sight. They pulled the altars back and went from anonymous priest facing with the people to a Protestant style facing the people.

The church nearest to us doesn’t have kneelers; it only recently put a large crucifix over the altar.

A single holy water font big enough to float a boat in.

Yecch.
