[Carpe Cerevisi]

When decorativeness becomes the most important consideration, it's probably a safe bet that our priorities have gotten mixed up.

Who said anything about the "decorativeness" of the interior of the church took anything away from the worship that takes place in the church? If anything it should elevate the mind to God. God forbade the worship of images in place of God; He didn't ban the use of making them.

By your rationale any images, be it photographs, movies, books, statues, or paintings would be forbidden.

Who said anything about the "decorativeness"...

Well you're the one making snide remarks about "the inside of your church must look like the inside of a civic center".

I'm certainly not going to advocate we decorate the place up just because you look down your nose at our "civic center" plainness. If God is displeased with plainness, point to His command to decorate. If YOU are displeased with plainness, that's not my problem.
