"The church absorbs these mounuments, large thought they be, in its own imm

The church absorbs these mounuments, large thought they be, in its own immense scope.

Could you explain the meaning of this sentence, please? I believe I know every single word in it but I just can't comprehend the meaning of the whole sentence.

Thank you.

Best wishes,

PBF

Hi PBF If you don't mind my saying it, you are studying sentences that contain structures which may prove difficult for quite a few readers. There are a couple of mistakes in your example: The church absorbs these monuments , large though they be, in its immense scope. The church is so big that even though the monuments (near it) are big and impressive, the church overshadows them.

Thank you for explaining that sentence to me, Cool Breeze. And no, I do not mind you saying that. As a matter of fact, I agree with you.

I believe it's being used figuratively. The church is just SO large that other things - even large things - seem insignificant.
