    Every time the Latins have a council they think it is ecumenical. Not so!

    I'm not going to worry too much about Beethoven and Mozart. I have been dealing with an aging hippie who wants to buy stickers from the publisher to put over the word, "Yahweh" and sing that piece of trash, "Sing a New Song" at the folk mass. He says it is contemporary music and I said it's not contemporary but closer to 50 years old. I told him no and we will never use that garbage in one of the morning masses. It's by Schutte, who may the king of the plagiarists whose music quality is closer to the pronunciation of his name.

    I can deal with Beethoven at the moment.

    I met Dan Schutte at the SWLC when I met Kolar... and the famed Michael Joncas... one big happy clappy family!

    Time to break out the Frankenstein song and celebrate:

    "We are many parts,
    We are all one body..."

    You mean "The Monster Mass"? - It was an ecumenical smash!
