I'd like to open a debate about a phenomenon that has been going on for several decades now , the architectonic modernization of the churches , in wich architects give up classical styles to adopt new ones , more aseptic and unrecognizable.
I've thought a lot about this issue and reached a conclusion , the reason behind this change is neither purely artistic nor the simple modernization for the sake of modernization , it's a subconscious answer of the Church to a society than no longer can stand christian values and christians per se.
Everyday we witness the attacks from international organizartions , EU , intellectuals , leftists , muslims and jews against the Christendom , under attack , just like in the early years when christians had to hide themselves into the catacombs , bishops and the all clergy feel subconsciously the need to mimetize themselves and the christian symbols in order to not dirturbe the muslim/atheistic masses , to make it short today churches have not to looks like churches in order to avoid intellectual and juridic persecution.
Also post examples of these new kind of "submissive" pseudo-Churches.
