Chance is not beauty. Finally, I do not think ... I've always wondered how a non-believer could explain the constant beauty of nature, how he could see that the man was able to create persistent beauties such cathedrals but may not admit that there is a slight possibility for a divine presence has guided this work. I'm not saying it's a dazzling show! I say we must issue a doubt about atheism as it should be possible discuss the dogmas of religion. Like Voltaire, I like to say
The world embarrasses me, and I can not think Let this clock exists and has developed a watchmaker ...
Cathedrals: He must not only consider visiting these monuments as a frivolous distraction that Catholics should abandon only to aesthetes. There is an intimate connection between devotion and the people who built those cathedrals. The picturesque beauty of the places we should not forget that these places are also allocated, we do can ignore the artistic work of the masons, tailors and painters, the work of the divine workman ...
Admittedly, the Catholic churches are more beautiful than others ;-)) Some ostentation a love of luxury and divine representation explained. The Protestant compensate the coldness of their temple by a host of better quality, it must be admitted, and here they dominate us. I believe in celebrating Mass, the priests are obliged Orthodox are the most beautiful. When the mosques and synagogues Sometimes grandiose architectural feature is a glaring feminists: Women and men are separated, the best seats being taken by them!
I offer this little journey into the heart of cathedrals across two books that share their presentation - a binder full color tending toward gold - and their state of conservation who will fill the bibliophile. It is both useful and relaxing to go meditate in these places of worship that are open to all. This is where you can find the traditions of a people, community and understand the ideal that animates them. Pierre
