The documentation also mentioned that all faith traditions were welcome. I know those of the Jewsh faith tradition don't worship in chapels, thereby calling a chapel a worship space less "offensive" to them. I guess the fact I'm offended by the diluting of our Catholic identity doesn't matter.<br /><br />As to the view from the er? comment, if the worship space is circular, there really isn't a back is there? A circle has no front or back. In the churches I visit, I always take a picture from the back pew. Since there is no back row, let alone there were no pews, how should I describe it.<br /><br />As to the why? Why? comments. The building's architecture is a cruciform shape. The building was designed to be used a certain way, which is not in a circular way. As I illustrated at Sts. Peter & Paul, it doesn't tend to work. It works at St. Anselm because that is how the building was designed to be used.<br /><br />I'm angry and I'm sad. Because everytime I go to a Catholic place that has been made more protestant, I feel my Catholic identity is erroded and made to be worthless. Why am I Catholic if we are going to do the same thing the protestants do? Ultimately, I feel a sense of deep betrayal. Priests and religious have a responsibility to uphold the Faith and its Traditions. They are not doing this in many cases and in other cases are selling out to the latest big thing.Tina aka Snupnjakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209866349452434099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7443555219727926481.post-88251179667090542252011-10-29T10:16:56.806-05:002011-10-29T10:16:56.806-05:00Hi i have to ask What / Why did You change the nam...Hi i have to ask What / Why did You change the name Chapel to worship space? is this some type of Political correctness? and what's w/ the "view from the er?er?why?why?" business?<br />i know this sounds angry but personally i dont believe You have the right to change names or diminish the sites you were previledged to visit.What's with you???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
