Liturgical renewal has shaped structural trends in ecclesial architecture
The Second Vatican Council’s liturgical renewal and the Church’s adaptation to modern society have caused groundbreaking changes in ecclesial architecture since the 1960s.I wish I could say South Korea was behind the times with respect to the genuine renewal of the Roman rite, but it's not. The "Vatican 2" mindset (with its myths and caricatures of the past) still dominates, even though we have more American bishops who are willing to celebrate liturgy in the extraordinary form.
The style shift in parts of Europe in the early 20th century has become more common throughout the world, suggesting the influence of inculturation.
Before the Council, Catholic participation in liturgy was passive because the liturgy was clergy-oriented. The Eucharist was focused on dedication, rather than unity through sharing, which led to a hierarchical and rectangular church building.
