Mattix’s posting of pictures of French Roman Catholic cathedrals reminds us of
something we have pointed out before:
that the gothic cathedrals aren’t so much a form of high art as they are
the first modern technocratic deconstruction of man. The Cathedral of St Pierre of Beauvais is
good ensample of the giant, inhuman machine that crushes and devours our humanity rather
than healing it:

We hope
folks will attend to the older, Apostolic, Orthodox artistic ethos instead, which
does uplift mankind and the whole cosmos into union with the All-Holy Trinity:

Holy Ælfred
the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to
the Union!
