FOCUS QUESTION

The use and purpose of gargoyles in Cathedral architecture through time, marks a transition from uptight, regimented and superstitious beliefs towards salvation, to relaxed attitudes and used for simply decorative principles. ... Instead of telling would be Catholics that they had to abandon their pagan ideas and beliefs, the Roman Catholic Church incorporated some of their beliefs and imagery into their architecture, in order to entice the pagans into joining their Church. ... By still including gargoyles in their architecture, they are reminded that in the world of God, not everything is, as it seems.
