For the liturgy, "through which the work of our redemption is accomplished," (1) most of all in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.

Yep.. i don't think minimalism and abstraction (the two are related).. has worked in art, architecture, literature, poetry and other forms of modern culture.. and it definitely has deformed and impoverished the liturgy.

Good article, Kevin.
