Now that's a pulpit.
Catholics sometimes have an undeserved reputation for not taking preaching seriously ... at least, among Protestants who do take it very seriously indeed.
I'd like to say that this pulpit in Cattedrale Santa Maria Assunta in Piacenza suggests otherwise. I've been in churches where the homily is shorter than the time it would take just to climb those steps.
Also, look how many people could crowd up in there. Opens up all kinds of possibilities. Tag-team sermons. Preaching in four part harmony. Room for the bishop's quality control team. Clergy Mexican waves.
Don't worry, I can keep that kind of nonsense up all day.
I like the idea of preaching in four part harmony! And look, they have a nice little roof to keep the rain off, so they can sing /preach as long as they like!
