Ely cathedral if you wanted to know

Gothic is the grandest architectural style in my opinion

wow
I guess it was impossible to be some pre-1800 peasant and not feel the divine when walking into a place like that.

Go be barbarians elsewhere
Gothic is the most elegant and sophisticated architectural form.
It represents the loftiness of the heavens with it's towering spires and grand arches.
Truly there is no comparison

It's a pain to see this happen. Hopefully once churches like the Church of England start dying, the Catholics will once again be able to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass in these beautiful churches.
I fee like you're one of those 'cultural christians'

No, I'm a practicing Catholic that's salty about Protestantism.

I really am not on board with its exterior design
Yeah, it looks like a badly textured video game building
what were they THINKING?

Yawn... Can someone post some actually good architecture to spice things up.
You first
Is there any suggested reading on architecture?
Can't we agree that both (original) Islamic architecture and Christian architecture is great
this makes me feel unsafe, but it's beautiful
Yes
It's not like Catholicism appeals a lot these days, except for old people and 2 or 3 bigots you won't see much people attending to the Sunday mass in my village
I pretty much only enjoy mosques like this when imagining being part of a desert tribe that trips on psychedelics and builds a temple applicable to that lifestyle
Wells truly is wonderful, not just the cathedral but the whole town is so beautiful and idyllic. Also Hot Fuzz
shit will never ever cease to awe me
Am in Durham righr now and can confirm, the cathedral is magnificent

Where are you from?
>2 or 3 bigots
What do you mean by this?
Catholicism is a beautiful faith. I converted from atheism.
