With the changes to the Mass less than a year away, it seems like a good time to address a topic that’s been bothering me for quite a while.
They’re called the liturgy wars, and they are as ridiculous as their name.
Today I’m guest posting at Catholic Mothers Online, and my topic is liturgical music–something that, as a church composer, a choir baby who now has choir babies of my own, is near and dear to my heart. Come on over and join in the discussion!
“There’s an unfortunate human tendency to take one’s personal musical preferences—a wholly subjective measure—and try to set them up as an objective ideal.”
Were I a bit more charismatic I might say that you clearly have the gift of prophesy. How else could you have written ahead of time what people would say in the comments!
All snarkiness aside, I completely agree with your post and thing it very well stated.
