The three natural laws of church architecture (or, the minimum you need to know to evaluate the church down the street) -- Our pilgrim goes into the house of the Lord (or, the essential elements of every proper church) -- Our pilgrim goes into the worship space of the people (or, why you find it so hard to pray in that modern church) -- Why modern architects secularized our churches (or, bad theology has done more damage than bad taste) -- How we can make our churches Catholic again (or, what the Vatican wants you to do to help restore the faith in our day).

Résumé:

"The problem with new-style churches isn't just that they're ugly--they actually distort the Faith and lead Catholics away from Catholicism. So argues Michel S. Rose in these eye-opening pages, which banish forever the notion that lovers of traditional-style churches are motivated simply by taste or nostalgia. In terms that non-architects can understand (and modern architects can't dismiss!), Rose shows that far more is at stake: modern churches actually violate the three natural laws of church architecture and lead Catholics to worship, quite simply, a false god.
