I am starting to feel that traditional church is really losing it's grip on me.
And the Catholic church is the most traditional of them all.
This cathedral has this enormous quire/space around the altar. It's fenced of.
The purpose in ancient times must have been to instill in the believers the holiness of God and also the position of the priest who could enter into this space.
But what about the priesthood of the believers? This kind if church and liturgies they have makes the church of living stones almost impossible to contemplate.
I wonder how these buildings speaks to the average French person? I hope I can find someone to ask.
