Romulus

"Sue, all that sense-appealing stuff isn't there to inspire you to heavenly thoughts. It's there for God – a sacrifice of praise. The author makes much of the externals because evidently she believes in most places insufficient trouble is being taken to honor God as he deserves. People spiritually formed by the Novus Ordo have tremendous trouble letting go of the notion that their presence is essential to what's going on. But it isn't. Not one little bit." — Romulus
