Likewise it is true that people in the 16th or 15th centuries viewed it differently from them. And so on.

What is perhaps unique for us “moderns” is the rate of technological change. The role of technology (loudspeakers, electric lights instead of candles and sunlight, glass and steel instead of stone architecture, e.g.) in shaping thought is perhaps sometimes underappreciated.

Just my two cents. Thank you for an interesting series of thoughts on the liturgy.
