Liturgical vandals could not wait for the starting gun

In 1958, when they changed this view of the Church of St James the Great in Miltenberg, Germany



Into this- to correct what they called "the ahistorical additions  of 1784"
 

Once started, they just could not stop.  So after the 1975 "restoration", this is what the poor parishioners of Miltenberg are given, much at their expense.



The altar apes the old style with folding side panels- except conveys nothing to the ordinary passer-by.  It is actually meant to be Christ calming the waters and a fishermans net.
