    We could expect the same kind of objections here as indicated this year as EWTN aired a number of Masses from cathedrals where I did not hear very much chant in Latin (or even English). I had expected Cathedrals choirs to favor more of the propers and the chanted ordinaries like
    this sort of thing. I am most disappointed. At many of these Masses the choir and the miked cantor posed as congregations participation.
    There is real spiritual joy during Mass, and chants like Gloria XV can give little more space for the spiritual dimension soar.

    Not to worry. He's just a South Coast Bishop. They don't really get the Tradition thing.

    Mind you, I don't live on the South Coast.

    The bishop's comments were just plain mean. Mean spirited. Nasty. Bitter.

    The Mass was absolutely beautiful and to attack it says a lot more about hateful man than it does about a a magnificent liturgy and those whol planned and executed it.

    Shrug. A small man with small opinions.
    And I should know. ;-)

    I'm overjoyed to see these comments. It's about time that liturgically hostile bishops came out and admitted "we're not really Catholic."

    PC or Mac...

    you can spend your time building the instrument or you can spend your time playing the music...

    Don't go there on this forum... You only show ignorance of the refined technology.

    Or learn to type [anchor} . which works equally well on Macs and Windoze.

    I fear we're straying off topic here, chaps - that is, the cloth ears and narrow minds of some whose position and obligations mean they should know better.

    How can a bishop stand in opposition to the Church?

    It happens when they loose touch with Tradition, Noel. It's a form of alienation.

    All I want to know: did the bishop have fun stormin' the castle, er, the cathedral?
    Did an English Quasimodo (how appropriate) pour flaming oil from the ramparts?
