Renovation of our Catholic churches is an issue that has been tearing apart parishes for 35 years. Communion rails have been ripped out, tabernacles hidden, kneelers removed, pews replaced by portable chairs, statues sold to antique dealers, and priceless works of art lost. Are these costly renovations really necessary, many wonder? The man in the pew instinctively resists the modernist design proposals, yet professional church renovators continue their attack in countless parishes across the continent. The Renovation Manipulation exposes the blueprint used by these highly-paid professionals to engineer unnecessary renovations. Herein you'll learn about:

- The Protestant roots of modern Catholic Church design and renovation - The "re-education" process used to manipulate parishioners into accepting major changes to their church building - The hallmarks of deceitful renovation schemes, including fabricating the requirements of Church law and Vatican II, false-advertising fund drives, and lame-duck parish committees - How to respond to propaganda about: placement of the tabernacle, statues, and baptismal font; pews vs. chairs; removing the crucifix, communion rails, and kneelers; church "in-the-round"; and more.

This convenient handbook, designed in an easy-to-use reference format, provides parishioners with the necessary knowledge and Church teachings to challenge the prevailing fads and opinions in liturgical design and architecture. As this book shows, the renovators and their allies are vulnerable. A well-informed, determined, and united community can succeed in defending its artistic and historical treasure against them.
