That church is absolutely gorgeous—and reminds me of how Catholic Churches used to look.
Thanks for posting

Gorgeous. I’d love to see churches bring back the communion rail.

There’s a pipe organ in the one church nearby.
But it doesn’t work as it has not been serviced in half of forever.

Our church, St. Thomas in Coeur d’Alene, ID, is beautiful.

Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, Chaldean churches etc are spectacular.
I was at an Eastern (Romanian) Orthodox church in Detroit a while back and they don’t leave a square inch uncovered. The priest explained that the church is like a physical representation of a soul and every fiber of a believer’s being should be dedicated to praising, thanking, and worshiping God. He said that the church reflects that.
I’m Protestant so plain and humble is what I know but I really like the artistry of the Orthodox churches.

I LOVE the old design so much better. Many Protestant churches should do the same...bring back the old style that is. The wood work is so gorgeous and we lost much of it.

Wow! and Double Wow!
Do I notice lots and lots of pre-Vatican II architecture?
I like.

Am I off-base to question whether the money that went toward this remodeling should’ve gone to feed the poor, the sick, and the hungry?

Or perhaps missionary work in other countries. Many good uses for an abundance in the coffers.

Right, let’s allow our church buildings to fall into disrepair so people like you can get what you want (no more Catholic churches).
Megabucks from the Church already go to feed the poor, the sick, and the hungry

Am I off-base to question whether the money that went toward this remodeling shouldve gone to feed the poor, the sick, and the hungry? The renovation was likely paid for with donations from Benefactors. Their private donations would have been expressly given for the renovation project..
To take that money and use it for another purpose would be deceptive, and a misuse of money given for the sole intent of the renovation.

I love seeing Churches that look like Churches, not the cold sterility of a hospital in the shape of a shoe box.
