I'm not sure why, but apparently aesthetics of a church are very important to me and my sense of well-being there. The older the church and the more traditional, the more content, centered, and reverent I feel there. I tried a more modern local Catholic church building and I did not like it much at all and wished to be back in the older church building. In the older church building Adoration is held in the unattractive 1970's chapel off the side of the church. While I sit there and pray, a part of me wishes I could be in the dark sanctuary, instead.
Maybe I am just selfish or too preferential. Or maybe there is importance to aesthetics.
