Failing to recognize the worth of beauty independent from utilitarian function is symptomatic of an abject poverty of the soul. It’s like saying that if we turned St. Peter’s Basilica into a parking garage, we would improve it by making it practical. There’s a word for this, and it is vandalism. We must not vandalize the faith in the name of pragmatism!
