What is Wrong with this Picture?

This photo was taken today in a Rome convent. 

A "fiddle-stick's end" is all that came to mind.

Yours truly was almost struck dead by thundering apoplexy at such an odd lancet of postmodernity.

Read the Bible and know that the Lord deserves better.

  1. If it weren't for the lamp indicating the presence of the Lord I have no idea how someone would know this is a tabernacle. The Lord does most certainly deserve better, much better.

  4. Looks like a Klingon spaceship to me. Please don't tell me it's supposed to be a tabernacle?

  6. It looks like Klingon Bird of Prey. Someone had to realize what they were doing when they built it and did this ugly thing deliberately.

  7. Is that a cannabis plant to the right?

    I wonder if the priest who consecrated the sacred species in that "tabernacle" had the "intention to do what the Church does" when he did so?
    One can always hope...

  8. No idea what's wrong with the picture because I can't tell what it's supposed to be to begin with!

  9. I have seen many Tabernacles in my time, but for the life of me, I couldn't identify this as one of them. Lord Have Mercy, Gospodi Pomiliui, Kyrie Eleison!

  11. How thoughtful of the nuns to build a taxi stand into their convent for the use of their many visitors.

  12. "Vatican II garbage!!! Plain and simple."

    Perhaps you could cite the actual document from the sacred council that says to construct ugly tabernacles? No? Didn't think so.
