Book Description
These guidelines state and briefly explain the basic liturgical principles of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and Environment and Art in Catholic Worship which affect the design of a church. The practical application of these principles will vary with every church that is built or renovated, for the creativity of the architect must not be stifled by rigid rules. However, a church building, old or new, which does not incorporate these basic principles is an obstacle to the sound practice and true understanding of the public worship which is to be conducted in it.The principles presented in the following pages are derived from documents on the liturgy which refer to the building and remodeling of churches. They carry the weight and the authority of the documents cited. --page 1.
