  • S. 44: „An second example how Figgis could have moved is found both in German architecture and theology in the period immediately after Figgis´ death. The German architect Rudolf Schwarz adapted the modernism of the Bauhaus to build truly contemporary brick churches in Germany for the Roman Catholic Church in the 1920s, while also having a deep involvement in the new Liturgical Movement. Schwarz was influenced by the brilliant Roman Catholic theologian Romano Guardini (1885-1968), who was a close friend. A whole article could be written comparing Figgis and Guardini on sacramental theology, liturgy and ecclesiology, but for reasons of brevity I simply show how Guardini, unlike Figgis, fully embraced modernity in his ecclesiology and liturgical theology. Guardini was a theologian who was shaped by the crisis of the modern era. Guardini read widely in phenomenology, and philosophy, and decided before the First World War to become a priest and a theologian. So far, he is like Figgis. Like Figgis, Guardini placed the Eucharist, or Mass, at the centre of the Christian life. Guardini´s 1918 book The Spirit of the Liturgy (Vom Geist der Liturgie) is one of the iconic books of modern liturgical theology.[85 Holger Zaborowski, `Contradiction, Liturgy, and Freedom: Romano Guardini´s Search for Meaning after the Cataclysm of World War I´, Modern Theology 35.1 (2018).] For Guardini, `modernity had detroyed the bonds of traditional society and marginalized the Church as a source of social unity, leaving in ist wake the anarchic indidivualism of liberal capitalim´.[86 Christopher Shannon, `Romano Guardini: Father of the New Evangelization´: https://www.crisismagazine.com/2014/romano-guardini-father-of-the-new-evangelization, February 17, 2014.] Guardini as a Roman Catholic theologian surprised many by becoming the Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at the Protestant University of Berlin in 1922, which was a very anti-Catholic university. Guardini was criticized for his thought by many Thomist theologians, but attracted Hannah Arendt, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and much later Jose Bergoglio (Pope Francis). He also became such a close friend of Schwarz that Schwarz buildt a house for him in Berlin, in a fully modernist idiom. Schwarz made Guardini´s book on liturgy his lodestar, and Guardini worked closely with Schwarz became someone for whom full-blooded Roman Catholic orthodoxy and modernism were as one.[87 Richard Kieckhefer, Theology in Stone: Church Architecture from Byzantium to Berkely (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), p. 233 on Schwarz, Guardini and modernism.] Like Figgis again, Schwarz alo placed the Eucharistic at the centre of everything, but unlike Figgis he embraced a total modernism. One of the studies of Schwarz makes the point succinctly: `With a severe, sober but also profoundly poetic style, Schwarz manages to tranlate the Eucharistic language into architectural language´[88 Wolfgang Pehnt and Hilde Strohl, Rudolf Schwarz (Milan: Electa Publishing, 2000)] Schwarz church in Aachen of 1930, Kirche St. Fronleichnam, is extraordinary, totally modern, sacramental and liturgically innovatory. (Thi building, incidentally, deeply influenced George Pace as another sacramental, modernist architect in Britain in the 1950s, including the iconic St. Michael´s College chapel, Llandaff, Wale.)“
