The thing is it wasn't circular but square in form, and it was covered to the floor. It either had 4 or 5 legs (4 in corners and one in center - like the present orthodox) or one (in center - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimforest/2537489397/sizes/o/in/set-72157612694892485/ ).<br /><br />But yeah, this is a disgrace...Marko Ivančičevićhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579400863718513875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-38189809931054038732011-05-28T22:36:43.486+01:002011-05-28T22:36:43.486+01:00St John Looks happier then the Bishope does!St John Looks happier then the Bishope does!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-86092463585550720732011-05-23T14:28:07.992+01:002011-05-23T14:28:07.992+01:00The Bishop appears to not being wearing an amice, ...The Bishop appears to not being wearing an amice, as his roman collar is visible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-66202347718491716462011-05-23T10:46:21.030+01:002011-05-23T10:46:21.030+01:00Like numerous 'good ideas' (the font in Sa...Like numerous 'good ideas' (the font in Salisbury Cathedral being another example), it's a nice thing but in the wrong place serving the wrong purpose (i.e. a church as an altar). The reordering at Portsmouth is pretty good, actually - keeping the Pugin-style colours and shapes. It could have been a lot worse.

This table looks more <br />like an end table designed to hold a lamp and an ashtray. <br /><br />Why so small and so insignificant and for a concelebrated mass at that? Is this another indication that "the smoke of Satan" is still working in the Church?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763870719324376396.post-73792315338527818502011-05-22T22:49:42.187+01:002011-05-22T22:49:42.187+01:00What is it?

Really, what is it?<br /><br />I have never seen anything so unsplendid, so dimminutive, so cramped passing itself off as an altar. I will not even comment on the color scheme. Is this a Cathedral?
