Resurrexi Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) I was wondering if you had visited [url="http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2009/08/st-franciscuz-xaverius-in-amsterdam.html"]this church[/url] before.

puellapaschalis Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Pity he can't spell the word "Franciscus" properly. All it would have taken was a Google to [url="http://www.krijtberg.nl/"]find out[/url]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Or Utrecht. I made a comment to inform him of it. It's a bit snarkier than my usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Oosterburen, PP. Oosterse buren zijn die mensen die naar het liturgische Westen spugen in Br. Hugo's kapelletje But in answer to your unasked question, Rexi: yes, it's actually more awesome in reality, and yes, those altar rails are used for the distribution of communion.

I've seen original pictures of the St. Nicolaaskerk, and that had a layout very similar to what you can still see here. So yes, I think it's original. The place of the parish altar would have been empty, and to the side there'd be chairs for the clergy and servers. The St. Agneskerk, which is the FSSP personal parish, also has a similar altar layout (although it's a completely different style). To the Dutch eye, most American altar layouts look a bit small and crowded (Which doesn't mean I don't like it - the priest tends to disappear on those big choirs).

It made some sense, though, since the most cathedrals and parishes in the United States have never really had enough clerics for the Office to be recited in common on a consistent basis or for clergy to assist at Mass in choro frequently. I think that having a quire in most churches would be ideal; however, I do like it that laypeople at Mass are able to be closer to the altar when there is no quire.

jeffpugh Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That layout is huge with Anglican parishes. The one I used to go to in a small town years ago was layed out pretty Euro-Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
