A platform is the same thing as an altar or stage. It is most often located at one end of the church building with the congregation facing it. It is usually raised a few feet higher than the main floor. The Pastor usually stands there when he is preaching. In some churches, the musicians and other pastors will sit there during the service in front of the congregation. This makes it easier for them to be seen and heard. The word platform has no political meaning at all.

What is a praedella?

A praedella is the panel (or panels) at the base of an altarpiece, same as predella. Often scenes from the life of Christ are depicted on the predella, or sometimes, as in Masaccio's Holy Trinity altarpiece, a skeleton intended to remind viewers of their mortality (called a "memento mori").Praedella (Latin) is an ancient Roman form of platform, usually three steps in height. Upon the platform sat the Dias or throne of the Emperor. Now, like Basilica, we find praedellas in most Roman Catholic and other Christian churches. Often misnamed "the altar", the praedella is, rather, the platform upon which the altar of a church sits. The platform has spiritual significance for Catholics, in that, it represents the Apostolic tradition upon which the Catholic Church is founded or built.
