A local radio commentator has opined that "Self-justification is the SECOND strongest human drive."

I think he's right. Most of what we see happening to the Church is the result of self-justification, worked out on a very large canvas.

Rome uses the term 'disorder' for a reason. Perhaps the Milwaukee Cathedral is the poster-child--but the disorder present in the current "renovation" is appalling and blatant.

E Michael Jones and I concur: the 'disorder' is manifested in art, music, and ultimately in teaching, although all three are interconnected.

Synthesis, synthesis, syntheses: any attack on Goodness, Truth, Beauty, is an attack on all three at once. Similarly, one cannot habitually break "just one" commandment. Others follow.

Very true. If justification takes too many twists and turns to get to the desired answer, the desired answer is wrong.
