They are, for the most part, now gone. Things like gloves for bishops, lace vestments for priests, gold mitres and jeweled rings...
...along with reliquaries, images of the saints, crucifixes, holy water dispensers, beautiful stained glass windows, altar rails, and ornate baldaccinos. Tabernacles have been moved to the basement, the Body of Christ stored "in a closet" (as Fr. Corapi would say), crackers are used for communion and placed in your hand by perfumed ladies wearing gold, lace and rings much bigger than those the priest used to wear.
What an improvement. I'm sure Jesus is thrilled.

I'm sure Jesus is thrilled. On this, we agree.
