Thoeness thesis about what drove Julius IIs breakthrough decision to rebuild St. Peters altogether could easily pass by a reader not alerted to the originality of the ideas. Given Thoeness premise concerning Nicholass modernity, his surmisal as to why the fifteenth-century projects failed is ascribed, perhaps not surprisingly, to a vague teleological force that set it out of the popes control: One might say the time was not yet ripe for it, that the forces of change were as yet insufficient to begin this gigantic work.

From the gesture of reconciliation with the Western Church that Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg (with dome and St. Peters-like piazza) was meant to express, to the employment of a similar combination of forms opposite the royal palace in French Naples in 1814, to the actual copy of the faade in St. Jacques in Montreal, Etlin shows that the use of the specific forms of St. Peters was explicit and often politically motivated (in the sense of both state and confessional politics).

DistantLightMinis She demonstrates the progressively public character of the ceremony reflected by changes in the design of the suggestum. Though popes and circumstances changed, and Berninis vision evolved in detail, it remained constant enough that Bernini was able to impress his conceptual and visual stamp on the greatest building in Christendom and create the salient image of an entire epoch (112). Kinney says the tale may have been justified by a passage in St. Johns Gospel describing Christ disputing with the Jews while walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon, but notes that in every other respect, the association of the Dionysian twisted marble shafts in St. Peters with any of the buildings in Solomons precinct seems almost perverse. He ends by rescuing St. Peters from its association with Nazism by quoting the satisfaction of eighteenth-century viewer Charles de Brosses with St. Peters.
