The scandal of St. Brigid's Ottawa

Truly these destroyers are demonic. They will indeed have much to answer for. The photo shows the profanation of a church - we are rightly horrified. Imagine if we could see a soul, once baptised and in Grace, yet led astray into sin, through lies, neglect, and deceit by wayward churchmen, wicked teachers, negligent parents.

The Novus Ordo mass profaned this sacred space long before it was sold. I think a mistake you are making Vox, is that there is a correct interpretation of Vatican 2 that is in line with Tradition. That myth of a hermuenetic of continuity is simply a false hope concocted by Ratzinger to string confused Catholics along. Bergolio is now showing the world the true interpretation of Vatican 2, rupture.

When priests turned their backs on God and held eucharistic celebrations of Man on tables placed in front of altars where Christ as High Priest once offered Himself in expiation of sin, that is when the profanation started.

These beautiful things mean nothing, if not for God.
The hierarchy was subjected to brainwashing from earliest days of priestly formation, where God is in every human being, and He is not separate from creation.
Now the beauty God-loving creatures have created, inspired and led by Him, is in discord with the current deity - men, especially the unwashed and angry masses, manipulated to believe that they are morally superior, because they know poverty. Pure materialism and Marxist lies. I worked with the homeless. Many considered themselves entitled to wealth and refused to work for little money (I, with many years of community rehabilitation studies behind me, served them rather humbly - well, it is true, no false humility from me - for less they considered just payment), many had no gratitude and waisted much that was given to them. I and my family do not dare to waste food, which most of our morally superior and entitled homeless had no qualms about throwing away. I often think that there probably are more generous and grateful saints among the wealthy.

If these people are all that matters, if serving them is all that matters, if humbling ourselves before them is all that matters (our humble papa certainly teaches it), the ugly, filthy and smelly shelter is the only place fit for worship.

These hierarchs, wittingly or unwittingly, crush and sell out beauty, because they have no use for it and / or because it is painful to be reminded...
