A Papal Encyclical on Architecture

Good morning , Dave .  Of course, I lack professional credibility in

     this business of architectural styles. But your column this morning

    was as weighty - and indeed infallible - as Pope Pius X 's famous

    encyclical denouncing the errors of MODERNISM .

         Perhaps you and Scruton can compose an " Index of Forbidden

    Blocks ".

            Seriously, Dave . I loath modern architecture. Does

     that horrid Blue Cross building downtown reflect  CLASSLESS

    tastes ?

           Just as in music , I prefer the CLASSICAL - not the

    Classless ?

            My politics ,of course , is more Liberal - and might

    be condemned by future papal encyclicals.
