I am not surprised at the traditional style. The desecration/destruction of the churches by the communists, left a deep scar on the faithful. the building of new churches is thus a restoration of faith but also recreating traditional church architecture.

What a waste of money. How many hungry and poor and needy people could have been helped? Whenter the good Lord asks us what have we done, our answer should never be that we built a really fancy building in His name.
I’m disgusted but I am pretty protestant too.

I’ve attended mass in quonset huts & dilapidated catholic school classrooms (after the church boiler went out on a routine annual basis)...maybe it’s just me, but I still felt blessed

And I’m supposed to believe Russia is my enemy over the Islamists?

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I guess if surrounded by such beauty can inspire believers to worship Him and not their surroundings, I don't see it as an a bad thing...
