The traditions of structure and patterns in Romanesque and Gothic Churches are truly diverse. Each of these different and detailed types of churches represents something. The Gothic churches show how important it was to be a community and how close the community was, with crypts underneath the church. While the Romanesque churches describe how important privacy was and how closer of the soul was a big part of a person’s life. Romanesque and Gothic churches show how important theology was to each ones culture, through the appearance of their diverse structures.
The dissimilarities between these two churches can be of great importance to each ones theology. The Gothic church is very open to the community to experience learning about God together. The Romanesque church is more secluded and focuses more on a person’s inner soul, and their relationship with God. Each church’s is represented greatly in there look and appearance
I like how you describe Gothic as more "open" -- that is the right word both in terms of architecture and theology.
