Someone who needs no refresher is peeved parishioner Marie A:
I certainly hope you're not getting paid for your super silliness! A church is like one's family and you certainly hurt my family. We love our church even if you think it has physical flaws. We love our priests who are the heads of our family and we do, as good Catholic Christians, invite you back again.
Whew, it's good to know they won't tar and feather me if I decide to go back. Now I just need a reason to actually do so. Ba-zing!Ok, let me be serious for a moment. Marie, you're not the first person to be mad because I gave your beloved church a low score, and you won't be the last. It's easy to take this thing personally, but remember that the Project is generally only concerned with a parish's physical structure--i.e., the church.
A low mark doesn't mean your parish is terrible, your priests are incompetent, or your and your fellow parishioners are bad Roman Catholics. It simply means that your church building is ugly. No more, no less. (And lest you think me a blind idiot, bear in mind that the Project's posse, all of whom are of a different mind, felt the exact same way.)
If you all truly love it, then Godspeed. Have fun. I'm just pointing out that, in the pantheon of Philadelphia church architecture, the less we say about St. Nicholas, the better.

ReplyDeleteJeezus, lighten up, lady!
This unique non-commercial site takes the rose colored glasses off when visiting these churches. Refreshing is an understatement! Marie, I could understand if PCP printed the review in your church bulletin, then I would agree to it being hurtful. Either way I would rather read this type of opinion, and that's what it is by the way, then read some make everyone happy all the time manufactured crock ok BS. PCP good job and keep it up, you are appreciated...
