    Isn't the red light in the sanctuary of every catholic church?

      I don't know, I'm not catholic. I've been inside a few catholic churches though and I'm trying to remember. Maybe I just don't remember the light because there's other color from stained glass and stuff so the contrast isn't so stark?

        It's usually a candle encased in red glass, or a small red light. There usually are other dim lights in the sanctuary, and the sanctuary is usually placed to the side and not as prominently as in this church.

        I think having just the red light fits the aesthetic of the church.

        I really like it.

          I dislike monochromatic looks and stark angles, so I think brutalism is pretty much always going to be a miss for me unless it's COVERED in plants for some color and curves.
