It was touted as "authoritative" when in fact, it had no authority at all and was written by a committee, not as law but as fancy. Unfortunately it went viral and its importance overblown. It should only have been a footnote in history, instead it wrecked the beauty of countless churches. <br /><br />Try a newer document, "Built of Living Stones". <br /><br />http://www.usccbpublishing.org/productdetails.cfm?sku=5-408<br /><br />Also Sacrosanctum concilium, the Vatican II document on the liturgy (read what it says, not how some wild cards interpreted it and bulled their weird interpretation into widespread use), and check out the blogs of Fr. Z. and the New Liturgical movement. (sorry, links not currently handy.) <br /><br />May God be with you, it's a tough sea turning this big ship around to bring it back to bear!<br />Julie Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947813397888248459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252331400180044066.post-47496557754730288392012-11-04T12:42:39.169-06:002012-11-04T12:42:39.169-06:00I love liturgy, too, but have some parishioners wh...I love liturgy, too, but have some parishioners who just don't get it regarding church decor.
