What does this look like on the inside?
________________
Like a McMansion. Cubic space is cheap; detailing is expensive.
Pews in a three-quarter circle. Big plain windows, not stained. Brick walls. Some icons and tasteful Stations of the Cross hung up because it was too sterile. Tabernacle to the side. Plain block altar IIRC - it’s been a long time.
In a traditional church, stained glass captures the wandering eye and keeps it inside the church. At the very least you focus on the scene from the glass. Here your eye travels outside.
The vault of a traditional church lifts the space up - here the space is more horizontal. If the homily and liturgy don’t hold you, if the view outside is dull, there are always your fellow mass-goers to watch.
No doubt if I more properly prepared I wouldn’t have these attention problems. But the architecture doesn’t help.
Could one of these picture describe it?
