He is referring to death by committee.

LOL!! By golly, I do believe you are right. Here are some before/after pix of churches in Hubbard's diocese, where Fr. "Dick" Vosko, honed his skills into an artform.

Assumption/St. Paul Church, Mechanicville, New York

Saint Joseph's Church Scotia, New York
The interior of the existing building was renovated to reorient the seating to provide more of a "community" atmosphere. The existing character of the space was maintained and replicated in the added areas. A new gable was added above the altar platform to help emphasize the liturgical action.

Our Lady of Fatima Church Schenectady, New York
The interior of the worship space was completely redone in the American Prairie style, with new cherry woodwork, porcelain tile floor, new lighting, sound system and custom-designed furnishings. New spaces included a Reservation Chapel, Work Sacristy, Vesting Sacristy and Reconciliation Room, Nursery, Bride's Room and Choir Storage Room. All areas of the building were made accessible to the disabled.

Here is a current listing of cathedrals and/or churches that are being "voskovized". VOSKO PROJECTS

What's the difference between a Mason and a modern liturgist?

Must be the handshake. Because the tastes in ritual-space design are remarkably similar.

Carrie Tomko, in a comment on [this post], notes the similarity between the modern Catholic liturgists' un-sanctuary and the
Masonic altar here.

Note the altar placement in these rooms of the Philadelphia Masonic Temple -- quite a remarkable building, really, in an over-the-top rococo-faux-Babylonian sort of way.

Renaissance Hall

Corinthian Hall

Egyptian Hall

Now compare the

Gothic Hall of the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge and the

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, of Las Vegas, New Mexico,
as renovated by the liturgical-design firm RD Habiger & Associates.
