The lack of beauty in a renovated chapel requires no explanation
Bruno Moreno of InfoCatólica argues that the absence of beauty is immediately perceptible without the need for explanation. He cites a photograph of a recently renovated chapel at an Opus Dei university college to illustrate this point.
Moreno notes that the visual quality of the chapel is evident and observes that the reaction of a visiting bishop reflects this assessment. He suggests that Catholics must consider how church buildings have come to be constructed without beauty.
