Crying on the Inside

...and on the outside as well. Here is a video from EWTN wherein "Fr. Robert Barron, of Word On Fire Catholic Ministries and Professor at U. of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary, explains why Parishes now aren't being built like the traditional parishes and the problems associated with this." I won't pick it apart line for line, though it is tempting. But it is just another incoherent and inconsistent attack on modernist buildings (claiming to be a defense of traditionalist buildings) which contributes nothing to the discussion. These are public opinions continuously voiced from both sides that depress me to the point of quitting in despair and at the same time motivate me to keep going.
