Kings used to pay well and it was good work when you could get it. I live in a drab old mill town in Massachusetts and the things the Roman Catholics used to build were amazing. An imposing Gothic church by the French .... the Italians build something akin to a Basilica with ornate marble ... total work of art. And then the Vatican II hit in 1965 .. like a Protestant sledge hammer .... absolutely crass, banal, modernistic, guitars, felt banners and the shit-liturgy as well.
