Vatican Cracking Down on Church Art, Architecture and Music
VATICAN INSIDER
By Andrea Torniello
VATICAN CITY - A team has been set up, to put a stop to garage style churches, boldly shaped structures that risk denaturing modern places for Catholic worship. Its task is also to promote singing that really helps the celebration of mass. The “Liturgical art and sacred music commission” will be established by the Congregation for Divine Worship over the coming weeks. This will not be just any office, but a true and proper team, whose task will be to collaborate with the commissions in charge of evaluating construction projects for churches of various dioceses. It will only be responsible for liturgical art, not for sacred art in general; and this also goes for liturgical music and singing too. [link]
