the building is important but one can live without it.  clerics are important but one can,  and has lived and thrived in the Lord for centuries  without ''clerical input.''.   what a parish cannot live without is a community made of members who seek the Lord, and to  love one another as themselves.  we don't need ornate, expensive 'attachments' or clerics to achieve that. we the community are loving mothers,,fathers…sisters ….brothers..friends….grandparents  etc etc who see and seek to find the Lord in themselves and in community.   ornate buildings and clerics are an after thought and not a christian but a constantinian add-on that is at the basis of the ruin and perdition of the 'church ' of today.
