Church bells are still a thing, but churches are not nearly as thick on the ground. Someplace like Venice, which was never fought through or bombed, seems to have parishes about five American blocks square. I know in Washington where to go to hear church bells, but it's a lot farther between them. I suspect that four of five Roman Catholic parishes do not have bells to sound, or anyway don't sound them. Are the Baptists big on church bells? I have no idea.

At least here in Germany almost every church, Catholic or not, has bells, that are rung every hour (often times with short ringings in between every 15 min).
- cafard 3y agoNo doubt I should have specified "in the United States", but I thought that the mention of Washington covered that.
