cmotherofpirl Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Our tabernacles are in the front of the Church. Not all parishes self -destructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The Latin parish nearest to my house still has the tabernacle in the center of the wall where the altar used to be, but it is shrouded in darkness during the liturgy. When I asked why the lights around the tabernacle were turned off I was told that they do not illuminate the area around it because the "tabernacle is not supposed to be a focus of the worship space while the community is making eucharist."

Apotheoun Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sounds like baby-talk. :P I am not a fan of the "worship space" and "making eucharist" lingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufsoles Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 But the Tabernacle holds the eurcharist. I am confused by that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortify Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 @Tufoles... basically according to some liturgists the Eucharist is also an innovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufsoles Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Okay, That kind of makes sense. However, I believe what everyone else here believes about the Eucharist and the respect for the Eucharist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLordsSouljah Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Sure, the altar takes prominence, especially during the Canon, but seriously, sound's like someone needs to go home and re think their theology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Eastern Christian tabernacles will often be made to look like a Church (sometimes they are even made to look like the Church they are placed in): Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Sure, the altar takes prominence, especially during the Canon, but seriously, sound's like someone needs to go home and re think their theology. It is much easier simply to ensure that the altar, tabernacle, and crucifix are not separated. :proud: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
