From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
Members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops announced that they have approved an initiative to “round out” all remaining traditionally built churches by the end of next year, USCCB secretary to the president bishop Jonathon Garner announced early this morning.
PopeWatch called the Vatican for comment. Pope Francis responded: “Are all you gringos crazy? I better tell Lombardi not to allow the bishops and cardinals to skip the metal detectors during my visit to your loco country.”
My sources in the Vatican tell me Pope Francis has already approved the recessional hymn:
“stating at the person across the other end of the church..” LOL – the homilies better be short and succint. There is a huge round church in Va that from the exterior reminds me of the old B&O round house at the Baltimore train museum. At least the music is beautiful and traditional. How about an papal edict of no more God boxes?
Garner also said that during the renovation, parishioners would be invited to “come together as one family by sitting around the altar”
