Abstract Details

2003, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Architecture.
In our society run by economics and speed, little time remains for contemplation and reflective thought. The time for personal reflection dwindles each day as our senses become overrun by advertising and marketing ploys. Many Catholics attempt to find this reflection in the church, for most religions do not fall victim to the measured time of this world. The church’s principles are based on an eternal time that occurs after our measured time on earth expires. However, the Catholic Church does not foster personal reflection within the Mass. Instead, Catholics are supposed to reflect upon the meaning of the Mass in their lives at other times. Therefore, individuals feel a disassociation from the teachings of the church to their everyday lives and feel their time can be best spent elsewhere. If the Catholic Church wishes to reduce the number of parishioners leaving the religion, they must address the issue of personal reflection.
