We were traveling and attended 8 a.m. Mass at the “main” church in the city we were visiting- not too far from Wheeling where your recent conference occurred.
The church is a beautiful and interesting building, but totally unsuitable for Christian worship. It has large clear windows showing the countryside, and the interior of the “sanctuary” has a kind of an oval well with pews on the graduated steps rising up from the perimeter of the bottom of the well. At one end of the oval in the well is the altar. Opposing it is the ambo (I guess it is) twenty or thirty paces from the altar. The altar and the ambo each had two candles on lampstands beside them. One would hear an amplified voice and have to search to figure out who was speaking and from where. The Blessed Sacrament was reserved in a chapel outside of the oval well. We prayed the Eucharistic “Dewfall” Prayer No. 2. I have wasted your time, I think, because I do not remember a thing from the homily except that my wife said she liked it.
