Beauty is a quality of being itself. So yes one can celebrate the Eucharist virtually anywhere and yes it is effective but there are many layers to the experience-in this case an aesthetic layer that has to do with the depiction of mysteries of faith-and beautiful churches provide some of those. - Fr.

It's the worship that takes place in the church, not the church's configuaration, where true beauty exists. Some of the most memorable services that I recall were conducted in military chapels that were hardly physical cathedrals. - Seanachie Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:03:54 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/wanted-catholic-exuberance.html#comment-5424 Wow, great article Father! The Sagrada Familia is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, its beauty really does reveal God. One of the many reasons I was lead to the Catholic church was the truth of that, that "beauty reveals God." Also, I love the last quote from B16, and the last line of the article, the one from the architect, I totally agree with it, in fact, I agreed with that even before I became Catholic. - Aeneas Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:15:44 +0100
