What's your opinion on offering Mass in baroque vestments in a Gothic chapel?

The altars moved away from traditional forms, the rood screens disappeared, ... I do like the renaissance art of the Low Countries: ![]() But probably mostly because these painter are also said to be late Gothic.

I think the rectangular form of the Roman chasuble fits perfectly with all the straight crossbeams, and its embroidery complements the branch-like capitals. It's really awesome... let's not be fashion designers and get all picky. I think these are beautiful together!

For what it's worth.. Baroque all the way for me. The Goths can keep their ponchos.

It's not like all the Romanesque and Gothic churches in Europe stopped being used when Baroque fashion appeared.Most Romanesque churches were demolished. :) I've been to one in Cologne! My German friend said that a lot of the baroque decorations and statuary that had accumulated over the years in older style churches fell down or got damaged during the WWII bombings, and people realized that the older churches looked a lot better without it. |
