A few years back there was a parody site which posted parodies of songs by Haugen and Haas. The website seems to no longer exist. Does anyone have any material from that site?

The Catholic Music Initiative is very deceptive. They are riding on the resurgency of Traditional Catholic Music, and advertising themselves as such. However, they are NOT trained musicians - I am no…

We need for everyone to be aware of this "Catholic Music Initiative".
When I was a seminary professor, someone invited the group to offer music at mass. I will not forget the piano p…
