Mr. McMicheal,
I think your choice of an adjective to describe Mr. Catesby Leigh was an unfortunate one. He is in fact a thoughtful critic of modern art and architecture much like Mr. Kinstler's friend Thomas Wolfe and his opinions show up in Christian journals, much like Sanden's. Frankly I find him a bit too conservative myself and do not agree with some of his points of view but he makes reasoned and educated arguments.
I think criticism is good. We all need it from time to time even if sacred cows are gored. Otherwise, we and the genre become rigid.
Here is a thoughtful essay on art Mr. Leigh wrote which I found on the Mim's atelier site.
