Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glories of the Catholic Church in Art, Architecture and History: Comprising 256 Superb Photographing Views, With Graphic Commentary, Legend and Description, by Eminent Catholic Writers On the tsth of July, 1823, it was destroyed by fire, owing to the carelessness of plumbers who had been at work' rn the building, and almost all the art treasures which it contained were lost beyond recall. Pope Pius Vll was on his death bed at the time, and passed away the following night He was a member of the Benedictine order and had spent many happy years of study and prayer in the monastery of St. Pa'ul 5, so that he loved this edifice above all the other churches of his cathedral city. At the time of its destruction he was dis turbed by painful dreams, which he received as warnings of some great disaster impending upon the Church. He awoke repeatedly with a start, and asked what terrible thing had happened; but, in order to spare his last hours from an unnec essary shock and grief, the fact of the destruction ofthe grand old basilica was hidden from him. A portion of the apse and the glorious triumphal arch in the center of the church alone survived the disaster, as a result of the most prodigious exer trons. His successor, Leo Xll, in spite of the straitened condi tion of the papal finances at the time, restored it from memory, on the same dimensions, and as far as possible according to the old pattern, making it even more splendid than before.

Download or read book Architecture in Communion written by Steven J. Schloeder and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the growing dissatisfaction with Catholic church architecture since the Second Vatican Council, and the general lack of clear and vibrant direction in liturgy, this book responds to the timely question of "How ought we build our churches?" Drawing upon the texts of the Second Vatican Council, recent papal encyclicals, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Schloeder examines this question in depth with regard to history, theology, iconography and symbolism. Schloeder seeks not merely to analyze why modern churches are so uninspiring, but he offers positive direction for the renewal of an authentic Catholic architecture: one that respects the traditions of the Church's magnificent artistic heritage while advancing the vision of the Second Vatican Council. The key to the solution is to regain a sacramental vision of the liturgy and of architecture, a vision that will help us to build churches that nurture the human spirit with beauty and meaning.
