Our Lady of the Bus Station

A rather unpleasant Anglican on Damian Thompson's blog had this to say about the possibility of the Roman Catholic Church taking possession of any Anglican churches: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/damian_thompson/blog/2008/07/10/the_fellowship_of_st_gregory_the_great

The romanesque churches of this country are owned and used by the Catholic church in this country. Had they been handed over to the Italian Mission they would no doubt be now re-ordered sideways and painted orange and purple, filled with the noise of guitars, and with a concrete social club built on the side.

As I said, unpleasant, but hard to argue with his description of what Catholics would have done with beautiful, medieval edifices had they come into the Church's possession during the 40 years in the desert...
I, after all, have worshipped in Our Lady of the Bus Stop, as one wreckovation I know has been called.
