Saturday, June 27, 2020 – This is going to be the last horizontal build-out for our not-so-tiny Church. Today we are peering behind the rood screen, walking past the choir (the old one!), and sneaking a peek into the sanctuary. We are not going to cover everything in a sanctuary. We are just going to Read More

Day 101 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part VI)
Thursday, June 25, 2020 – Today we take a side trip down some really old (OLD!) Church architecture terms. We are going to cover: a portico, the atrium, a porch, the bema, and the cathedra. You probably are scratching your head at most (all??) of these terms. Well, honestly today’s Church’s do not have any Read More
Day 100 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part V)
Wednesday, June 24, 2020 – 100 days!? I feel like I should mark this with a big cake or something, kind of like how TV shows celebrate their 100th episode with a weird recap show. Ehh…that sounds like a lot of work and calories. I will stick to the current theme: Church architecture. Yesterday we Read More
Day 99 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part IV)
Tuesday, June 23, 2020 – And we’re back! Today we are going even deeper into the layout of our ever-growing cruciform church and will be covering: the sanctuary, choir (no, it’s not what you think!), the chancel, a rood screen, the apse, sacristy, and vestry. Do not worry, the standard graphic of new terms is Read More
Day 97 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part III)
Sunday, June 21, 2020 – We are going to build a little more onto our cruciform church and take a slightly more in-depth look at layout terms. Today we will cover: vestibule, narthex, side aisles, and center aisle. You might notice these terms are not in alphabetical order. That is because I decided to take Read More
Day 96 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part II)
Saturday, June 20, 2020 – Today we are going to discuss the basic layout of a cruciform church. And by basic, I mean the most bare bones terms, starting with “direction.” Yes, I mean: North, South, East, and West. While many churches built today do not actually face East, traditionally Churches were built that way. Read More
Day 94 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part I)
Thursday, June 18, 2020 – Right. Okay. I suppose I am out of excuses. The garden is done (for now). Mr. Flusche is using his new laptop. Three tons of rocks are delivered for my next project, but I cannot do anything with them without Mr. Flusche’s help. So…on to the next super basic primer?? Read More
Day 86 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVII)
Wednesday, June 10, 2020 – Today is going to be very short and blessedly not confusing. However, this section also has some choices. Thankfully they are not confusing. This is the final part of the Novus Ordo. For whatever reason, this part has been given its own section in the USCCB outline. I can only Read More
Day 85 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVI)
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 – Today we are going to focus on just the Communion part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is fairly similar to the Communion part of the Mass of the Faithful. Unfortunately, this is where we see a lot of the prayers from the Traditional Latin Mass left out. Anyhow, Read More
Day 82 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XIII)
Saturday, June 6, 2020 – Today we are continuing on with our walk through of the Novus Ordo (NO). Yesterday we covered the Introductory Rites, now we are going to cover the Liturgy of the Word. This section can be compared to the “Instruction” part of the Mass of Catechumens in the Traditional Latin Mass. Read More
