Bernard of Clairvaux objected to the decoration of Romanesque churches because he believed that excessive ornamentation distracted worshippers from true spiritual contemplation and devotion. He emphasized the importance of humility and simplicity in religious practices, arguing that elaborate decorations could lead to vanity and pride. Bernard advocated for a focus on the divine rather than human artistry, seeing the ornate embellishments as a potential hindrance to genuine worship.
