Utility vs. Sublimity

"When I see churches in which modern architects have tried to embody
the ideal of a "preachers church", I feel a sinking of the heart. A
church is much more than a building in which one listens to sermons;it is a place
for devotions, and merely as a building it ought to keep people at a devotional
level. But it can never do that if in every direction the worshiper's
eye is brought up short by walls. There is need of distance, of a
background, which lends itself to the mood of the worshiper, so that the outward
gaze can change to the inner one. The chancel, therefore, is not
something exclusively Catholic; it is part of the church as a church, and if
Protestant services are from their very nature defective there is not need for
the building to be so as well. The building ought to make the service a
complete whole, and become as much as element in the soul's experience as the
words heard,the singing, and the prayers." Albert Schweitzer

I really struggled with leaving that part about Protestants in the quote. I could have taken it out and nobody would have been the wiser. But I think it's a crucial element to the quote. He's quite obviously bashing 'garage turned church building'. Which I hate too. Why do Roman Catholics have the vast majority of cool churches? They stole them after the Reformation.
