Fr. Z did a little 15 minute thing with some of the music. Horrible.

I wonder what the Holy Father thought of it....

The rest is not so bad, just overblown and forgettable. You can listen here

yep true. I was out of the country.

Do they usually do this sort of thing in Berlin? If so, that's one thing. If this was done specially for the Papal visit, considering THIS Pope, that's another thing. Certainly "deliberate insult" is the first thought that comes to mind...but is it the most charitable one?

Hey, you guys are a day late and a dollar short. Fritz B. covered this madness a week ago at PTB:

You mean two days ago??

=P

Yeah, it's where I found it. Doesn't seem like too many people over there are bothered by it.

With all the Papal visits to Germany and the USA, I'll bet he's yearning for another visit to the UK!
