Glorious Roman church eye-candy

At the Mail online there are some spectacular wide-angle photos straight up at the ceilings of some Roman churches.

Here is one.

These churches are expressions of identity.

They express who Catholics believed they were and who they believed the Church to be.

Today we have lots of churches that look like municipal airports.

It is still possible to build beautiful, theologically rich churches.  It just isn’t done too often.  More often now that 10 years ago, perhaps.  I’ll grant that.
