Because.....
...I do not like the liturgy being abused and the House of God desecrated by vulgar and inappropriate music
.....and because so much of what takes place during many Novus Ordo Masses is illegitimate or illicit, invariably breaking Canon Law
....and because guitars and other common instruments do not have a place in Church while the pipe organ is still the preferred musical instrument
and, of course, because I believe that we should all (but especially priests) hold fast to Church law and the teachings of thePope
Now......you have seen what is happening in Austria with over 300 priests rebelling against Rome in an open call to disobedience - if not, go to Fr Z's excellent blog here
And here is some of what the Austrians apparently love; a bit of a gig in church and some off key yelling accompanied by three guitars.....Fr Bensdorp does his best not to look overly embarrased.
Sorry, did I say Austrians? I think that there are also many parishes in England and Wales that offer up such tripe on a Sunday!
And because this a very bad attempt at blues by three 10th rate guitarists who can't sing.
ReplyDeleteI love Blues, Black Blues, but never in Church.
Pious Black Christians called it "the Devil's Music".
