This palsied condition is located in a favorite Roman Basilica. Cuckoo-land of bad taste, anyone? Let's hear it, friends, "Courage to change!"
Yours truly has read all of Vatican Council II in toto and there was not a word about this monkey stew in any of VII's 4 constitutions, 3 declarations or 9 decrees, basta.

This bungle must stop.
Would make a nice altar in some little dime-a-dozen Protestant Church, but not in a Catholic Church...and especially not in a Rome Basilica.
In former years bishops had recriminations for such stupidity as this.
These are great photos for the "archives". One day they will move beyond weepable to laughable!
JPSonnen, have you checked the decrees from the Congregation for the Liturgy? A lot of what is practiced in the Church, in the sphere of liturgy, was arrannged by this congregation, not by the texts of the council.
Thank the Italian Dominicans of S. Maria Sopra Minerva.
But this altar so wonderfully expresses the hopes and joys of the alienated proletariet whose fears and concerns the Church takes to her own as the Pilgrim People journeying towards the eschatological horizon where doubt and faith are reconciled in the Christological event...
That altar has been there since 1984 and maybe forever.
