Ugh....Spent 3 hours in a church yesterday

I have been inside a couple of Catholic cathedrals and an Anglican one, just out of curiosity. However it wasn't when any services were on mind you.

Just disconnect yourself from the art and the organisation which sponsored it. Back when that art was being made apart from the aristocrats and the emerging merchant classes, the church were the only other sponsors for artists and they often requested that religious works be commissioned for obvious reasons.

I know - Medieval and Renaissance history and art are favorite subjects of mine. Doesn't change the fact that sometimes when visiting the places where the amazing architecture and artwork are located, you run into the portions you DON'T like.
