What Ki nd of C-,u rch Would '00'ou Bu,'ld ?o
(Continued from Page 1) identifies itself with it and it side door, practically hidden, ity, or vulgarity (and at times to ignore the fact that if there
visible to the eye. Thus the
church would become a real
heart of blood and flesh in
the midst of far too many
hearts of glass and mud.
'A small garden before it
should always represent na-
ture readmitted to cement civ-
ilization. Nature, which wor-
shippers have already regard-
ed at all times as the syllabus
of God, should become that
again, particularly at a time
when too many pirates look at
it only in order to devastate
it and draw from it new idols
to be worshipped and new fields
of blood to be crossed.
"The exterior should avoid
any of that pretentiousness
which exasperates the home-
less. The people can clearly dis-
tinguish between dignity and
luxury, which is just waste and
ostentation in the service of
pride. The bell tower is not lux-
ury, and for my poor church
I dream of it day and night,
because the bell tower is still
today, and par!Ocularly today,
a link between mmanence and
transcendence. It is rooted in
the earth to the point where it
soars to the sky with a certain-
ty and determination which
seems to affirm the evidence of
the invisible above the visible.
"There should always be an
atrium (front porch before
main door), even when there
is extreme shortage of space.
In such a ca s e technology
ought to find a way of retain-
ing it, by incorporating it, if
necessary, in the main build-
ing. It should not be left out
because it is thought that space
is required by essential and
magnificent rites. The atrium
represents a necessary psycho-
logical preparation and also fa-
cilitates the Sunday dialogue,
which should not be only in re-
lation to God but also simple
conversation among men out-
side the atmosphere poisoned
by money and class.
"The Portal should be
great and triumphant to per-
mit the mild King to go out
again among His people and
to permit incense and the or-
gan to bring a last note of
harmony and scent to the
orgy of automobile horns and
the stink of oil. But I would
not want to see omitted the
to enable Nieodemus to glide
in in the discreet shadows,
without any questioning looks
which would prevent simplic-
ity and complete sincerity in
the dialogue with God.
"I.see thet interior of the
church, in an evangelical light,
like a nuptial hall, because
Christianity is but the King
who calls all men for the nup-
tials of the Sea. It must be
spacious because the Father
wants everyone to be present.
It must be a nuptial hall in
which the first impression is
not that of an image (however
dear and holy), but that of a
table--the altar--on which ev-
everything must converge
because everything starts there,
grace upon grace, for the seas
of God. A great cross should
descend from the vault, because
the cross is the 'cosmic tree'
as it is described in the most
ancient paschal homily of the
second century.
"There should be room for
everything, for the confession-
als, for the organ and choir,
and also for notices which
should be so placed as not
to offend, as a note of profan-
even of devout commercial-
ism), right at the entrance
of the church where there
should be only the image of
the Father who awaits in an-
guish the prodigal son.
"But above all, three main re-
quirements impose themselves:
visibility, comprehensibility and
comfort. Worship is the vital ex-
change between God and man,
but it can only be this if there
is perfect visibility and compre-
hension. This sets problems for
the Church, which it alone 'has
the authority to solve (such as
the use of national languages),
but it also sets problems for
architecture and technology. I
believe that the inclination of
the floor would facilitate dia-
logue between the assembly and
the altar without projecting
shadows of theatricality or pro-
fanity within the sacred space.
"Comfort (is needed) be-
cause the present generation
is weary with toil. There
should be no vast, deserted
and benehless hall in which
the assembly can neither be
orderly or attentive. There
should be heating because it
would be inhuman spiritually
is no warmth for the limbs
it is more difficult to have
warmth in souls.
"I would like the church to
comply with another
ment of the contem
world. In the past, a man's
home was his castle and per-
mitted him to retire in th si-
lence of his chamber to pray
and meditate. Now the silence,
the sacred corner of the house
may have been lost forever.
The ever m o r e reduced vital
and personal space in present-
day homes, the invasion of ne
technologies which brings, ev
• . e
inside houses where t s not
wanted, the whole tumult of
human voices and struggles and
the uninterrupted scream of the
street, must not only provide
for the liturgical piety of the
great family of Christ but also
for personal piety.
"To be the true church of
the living God and of the
man, the church must
like an act of faith, a gesture
of love, an immersion in solid-
arity with all creatures, a proof.
of optimism, a defense of the
roots and of the summits of
human life."

New Elections
For Ireland
DUBLIN (NC) -- Irish Pre-
mier Sean LeMass has an-
nounced he will dissolve Par-
liament following the defeat of
a government party candidate
in a by-election. New elections
have been scheduled for April
7.
The decision followed the de-
feat of Flor Crowley, a candi-
date of LeMass' Fianna Fail
(Soldiers of Destiny) party by
a Labor party nominee, the
widow of the man whose death
caused the by-election. 'Al-
though the loss of the seat was
not enough to cause the gov-
ernment's downfall, LeMass
had staked the prestige of his
government on the outcome.
