    Bourgeois fol­lowed John Cal­vin to Ge­ne­va, Swit­zer­land, in 1541. He be­came a can­tor at the Church of St. Pierre, and ed­it­ed the Ge­nev­an Psalt­er. At one point, he was jailed for mo­di­fy­ing some well known tunes.

    "My sweet Lord," Jeff, jailed? I thought one of his interlocutors read a statement in Louie's defense which included, and I quote: "He so's fine...(dooron dooron dooron.)"

    Sounds terribly Calvinist to me.

    This is Ostrowski's way of threatening people who are considering doing some self-editing of the Vatican II Hymnal.

    Haha . . . actually, I am certainly guilty of this from time to time.

    Now this is what I call a successful hymnal:

    "From 1860 to 1877, he was ed­it­or-in-chief of the An­gl­ican Hymns An­cient and Mo­dern, and con­tri­but­ed hymns, tunes, and trans­la­tions. This his­tor­ic hym­nal sold 60 mil­lion co­pies."
