  Domus Dei
For instance, contrary to present archi-liturgical trends, Domus Dei allows for the tabernacle in older churches to be kept in the sanctuary.
In its discussion of Christian funerals Domus Dei appeals to the same artificial symbolism: "Because the journey of the deceased began in baptism, it is appropriate that there be a physical association between the baptismal font and the space for the funeral rite.
Domus Dei states that "it is preferable to reserve the Eucharist in a chapel suited to the faithful’s private adoration and prayer.

  Domus Dei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domus Dei (Hospital of Saint Nicholas) was an almshouse and hospice established in 1212 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK by Pierre des Roches, Bishop of Winchester.
In 1450 an unpopular advisor to the king, Bishop Adam Moleyns of Chichester was conducting a service at the chapel of Domus Dei when a number of naval seamen (resentful of being only partially paid and only provided with limited provisions) burst in to the church, dragged out the bishop and murdered him.
On January 10, 1941 the buildings of Domus Dei were partially destroyed in an attack by German bombers.

 Titulus
A populous Christian community, like that of Rome, by the end of the third century must have possessed a domus Dei, a social centre which served as church, bishop's residence, refectory, dispensary of charity, hospice, tribunal, and seat of the episcopal government, as was the case at Antioch, Carthage, Cirta, and elsewhere.
In the fourth century, although the domus Lateranensis was the chief Christian edifice of the city, Rome possessed several places of assembly for the Christian community, which Ammianus Marcellinus calls conventicula christianorum.
To each one a basilica was assigned, dominicum domus Dei; the presbyters resided near this edifice, which in the language of archaeology is called titulus.

 Bishops' Discussion of Domus Dei Stresses Sacred
And I think if we speak of sign value, rather than Domus Dei, which is more the temple of God, where it's the gathering of the living Church, whether you [might] call it the House of the Church, or something else like that.
Perhaps Domus Dei could be used as an opportunity to clarify the terminology.
Domus Dei is a good name, but perhaps Porta Coeli, Gate of Heaven, might be a better name to underline the sacred place and the space which our churches are.

 Duomo
Duomo is a generic Italian term for a cathedral church, especially one that has a domed roof.
The term is supposedly derived from the melting of the two Latin words Dominus (Lord) and Domus (house) through medieval "vulgar" Italian, in the sense that the cathedral is "the house of God".
It was also called, in fact, domus Dei, or domus Ecclesiae.

 Domus Dei: Breaking new ground or just rearranging furniture? - ML 3/00
Domus Dei started out as a revision to the popular and widely read Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy statement, Environment and Art in Catholic Worship (1978).
The bishops have had their chance to comment on Domus Dei, but the document is still not widely available for public discussion.
The Domus Dei drafting committee could then vote itself out of business, and we could all move forward with the important pastoral work of building faith environments that “share the quality of ‘transparency,’ revealing the Creator behind the created object” (Our Place of Worship 9).

 Sanctuary Summary
Harold W. Turner isolates four dimensions of the domus dei: It is the center with reference to which life is oriented, the point at which heaven and earth meet, the microcosm of the heavenly realm, and the locus of the divine presence, often signaled by a cult object or image.
Besides the domus dei, there is another sort of religious sanctuary, not the place where the sacred dwells but the place where the religious community (itself sacred) worships.
This type, which lacks the four dimensions of the domus dei isolated by Turner, may be designated by the parallel term domus ecclesiae ("house of the gathered assembly").

Because "Domus Dei" intended to update the law of minor basilicas in accordance with the reforms of the Second Council of the Vatican, the conciliar documents, especially the constitution on the liturgy, must also be referred to.
After all, "Domus Dei" is clearly enformed with the conciliar vision of the Church as the people of God and a hierarchy of service.

In November 1999, the bishops had a chance to discuss the first draft of Domus Dei, perhaps the first time in history that the American bishops as a body have discussed the importance of art and architecture.
Second, Domus Dei considers a much broader treatment of issues, including architectural history, the arts, the seven sacraments, devotion, and practical considerations in commissioning a church.
Undergirding the text of Domus Dei is a philosophical modernism at odds with both church documents and the history of sacred architecture.

The draft document of Domus Dei was presented to the Catholic Bishops of the United States at their November 1999 meeting.
It is intended to be a properly sanctioned replacement for Environment and Art in Catholic Worship, a 1978 tract that is generally acknowledged to be outdated in its promotion of bland Modernist structures and iconoclastic liturgical settings.
Domus Dei recognizes that many architectural forms have been developed over the past two thousand years.

 RM Saggi - Nobili "Una scheda sulla domus lunigianese dei Bianchi da Moregnano (secoli XII- XIII)"
Nelle fonti toscane dei secoli XII-XIII secolo, il termine domus significa "gruppo parentale definito da una ascendenza comune", ma può indicare anche il complesso dei beni patrimoniali di quel gruppo parentale, o ancora l'insieme degli agenti (servi ministeriali e masnade) e dei coloni di quel gruppo parentale.
In twelfth and thirteenth century Tuscan sources the term domus means "kinship group defined by common descent", but it can also refer to the overall patrimony belonging to such a group, or alternatively the seigneurial staff, inclusive of servants and tenants.
The last of these meanings, the broadest and most comprehensive, is prevalent in twelfth and thirteenth century documents concerning the domus of the Bianchi da Moregnano in Lunigiana, who were vassalls of the Estensi and then the Malaspina.

 Architecture - New Document on Church Architecture - Catholic World Report - October 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Commissioned more than five years ago, the document, originally entitled Domus Dei but now known as Built of Living Stones, was first presented for discussion at the bishops’ open meeting in Washington last fall.
If Domus Dei had been approved last year by the bishops, the “liturgical design consultants” who dominate the field of church design and renovation would have been able to use it to justify most, if not all, of the subjective and contrived ideas they have been long promoting.
It would be hard to argue otherwise; but even with most points on which Domus Dei is a clear improvement over EACW, the proposed norms allow loopholes that will only serve to empower the liturgical design consultant to continue with his planned program of architectural changes to the liturgical elements of the church.

 US bishops' new art and architecture document
The draft document on church art and architecture, titled Domus Dei (The House of God), was presented for discussion at the plenary session of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) last November.
As far as the draft of Domus Dei is concerned, the Committee on the Liturgy has announced its intention to continue discussions and to seek comments from other interested parties during the next few months, including an on-line discussion over the Internet in January.
Nevertheless, despite the express declaration that Domus Dei "offers pastoral suggestions" and "is not particular law for the United States" it is likely that it will be promoted as a body of norms similar to its much heralded, though misleading and often erroneous predecessor, Art and Environment in Catholic Worship.

Discussion on Domus Dei, set for the closing hours of the final day of the bishops' Nov. 15th-18th meeting, was opened by Archbishop Jerome Hanus, O.S.B., chairman of the Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy (BCL).

Prudence suggests that Domus Dei be delayed until stability in the typical editions is realized.
Implying that EACW was a meritorious document by referencing it so generously in Domus Dei is a mere perpetuation of the worst mistakes and bad taste of the 1970s.
