whom I've noticed in previous articles is quite traditional in his Catholicism, really does sneer at this particular church...Why Catholic churches are like shabby department stores
I'm sure this poor church would be happy to replace the "highly coloured cheap chasubles (also polyester)" with beautiful, expensive vestments, if only they could afford them. Perhaps a large-ish donation from a Telegraph editorial writer could help them out?

I have to reproduce my FAVORITE comment on this story..."And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and since the commercial world is increasingly able to meet rising consumer expectations, you need to provide a total experience drawing on the highest standards of professionalism in art, architecture and music."
I think this commenter really gets it! when it comes to all the drivel published finding fault with this choir or that decor, etc etc. We share a wonderful faith - but everybody has different taste in art, music, decor, and social customs.
Perfect!
Oh, and those expectations, standards and professionalism must reflect the true beauty established by the Council of Trent. I forgot that.
