The day modern American protestants introduce anything approaching good art in their churches will be a great day for me. Not speaking about colonial American churches, which are things of beauty. Or St. John the Divine - which looks pretty Catholic actually.

What of artistic merit have modern American Catholics introduced in their churches? There have been quite a few extraordinarily ugly structures. What else?

Remind me again of the Bible verse where God commanded us to go out and make pretty things for Him?

Looks to me like the RCC has forfeited ANY right to discern what constitutes “good art”. Tell me, are you funeral hearses low-riders?
