Although identical in substance, our Ca- tholic worship has also had its share of accidental change and progress; but amid change and progress its gaze has been ever fixed on its origin. Moreover, it has always loved the fine arts, which, according to Dante, have affinity with the Divine. Christianity, indeed, went further, and was itself the creator of a magnificent art, which has been deservedly called Christian. This art, whether in poetry, painting, architec- ture, sculpture, or music, is p...artly ancient and partly new; and as my illustrious and lamented friend Padre Marchesi, O. P. , re- marked has undoubtedly given adequate expression to the mysteries of faith, and has proved one of the chief consolations, divinely granted to us for alleviating the LITURGICAL WORSHIP 45 many sufferings of life. The Christian Church is the principal meeting-place of these various symbols of Christian beauty ; it places them in harmony together ; but, unfor- tunately, this was not sufficient to preserve them from partial corruption ; and we priests, who love the fine arts chiefly as co- operating with our ministry, ought to make it our care to purify them from their imperfections.
