What fresh modernist hell is this?

The madness of modernism managed to transform the beautiful Church of 

St George in Pettnau-Leiblfing in Austria from this

to this

What was a House Full of Glory (in the words of the great German hymn) has been a devastation of all that is good and holy.

  

 

A house full of glory looks

Far over all the land,

Built of eternal stone

By the hand of God.

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

It is beautifully crowned

with strong towers

And high above shines

The sign of the Cross

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

Well do the storms rage around the walls

the storm in wild fury

The house will endure

on solid ground it rests

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

Though the foe threaten him

The power of hell assails

The Saviour's love and faithfulness

On her battlements watch

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

At the Son's side

the purest of Virgins

around her the warrior band

the warriors full of trust

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

Many thousands have shed

with holy desire their blood

the ranks stand firmly closed

in highest faith

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.

Arise! we hasten with love

We too to the holy strife

The Lord who founded our house

Gives us Eternal Victory

God we praise you

God we praise you

O let us all

be safe in Thy House.
