Plain churches are just so sterile.

My word exactly. There is something anti-beauty and anti-senses about them. It's almost Manichean or Gnostic.

Goodness, Truth and Beauty. They forget an important part of how we know God.

And, IMHO, the loss of the Sacrament of Eucharist is key. This more than anything else reduces a "church" to just a building.

Ever notice how different a church feels between the Good Friday service and the Easter Vigil. No Eucharist makes a difference.
