The Catholic Spirit

"For a Catholic, and for a Catholic building, beauty is essential, because first of all, God’s middle name is Beauty. And he, being in his creation, created great works of beauty that we are able to be stewards of. So, in our own way, we’re asked to imitate the creator in also creating beauty. So that’s the most important reason that we should build beautiful buildings — that it’s for God, it’s for his glory and it’s an imitation of him. "

would you take a look and comment please.

Thankyou.

ps you are no relation of the Shaw, Lancashire, Gillibrands I don't suppose?
Almost certainly. The Gillibrands are too small a family not to be related. Mostly from Lancashire with a great Catholic past, five Jesuits, four nuns since the reformatio.
