I believe it, modern society has killed the artisans crafts. No one can make the old style ornament now.

- riskable 2y agoNonsense! It just isn't economical. There's loads of artisans that can expertly sculpt/carve marble, wood, etc. It's just if you want to hire someone (or a team of people) to create such things it could cost more than the building itself. Much cheaper to adorn your church with mass-manufactured statues made from molds and they give you that same air of creepiness for a tenth or 100th the price :thumbsup:.
- emmelaich 2y agoI think it's more that Catholics were sensitive to the accusations of idolatry. So they reduced the use of statues of Jesus, Mary and more. And iconography.
