Within our colleague, E_A_Fulhorst's call that threads search out and shed a light of assistance in our discussions that would be of benefit to all, and particularly avoid devolving into bickering and bitterness- I thought I'd pose a few questions/scenarios by which we could share our stories (How David Haas, doncha think?)
1. Who has actually had appointed face time with one's own bishop(s) in which you queried and/or lobbied as to the state of liturgy within the (arch)diocese, particularly in the areas of adherence to liturgical orthopraxis, real strategic support for the expansion of TLM's beyond regional or deanery ghetto locales, and other such sacred music "what not" concerns?
2. Who has actually written one's own bishop(s) letters in which the aforementioned items and others could serve him when attending the USCCB Plenum conferences. For example, when the issue of the hymn text "white list" was actually announced to be on the agenda, did any of us write a sort of "friend of the court" letter to the bishop with advice and encouragement?
3. Who has engaged the appointed Director of the Office of Worship in face-time meetings to discuss items and issues beyond the next occasion the Diocesan Choir is going to provide music for a megaMass? Who has gone to diocesan workshops and brought up in public, open forums there, these delicate differences that are in dynamic conflict with the concerted efforts of the Big Publisher's sponsored product roll-outs? Has anyone had to really explain or correct a workshop provider's mistaken notion about the efficacy of SttL versus actual legislation in force. (Sorry CharlesW, sometimes it does have to be called into question.)
4. Who has met or otherwise engaged so-called diocesan DM's or "Music Mentors" in an effort to bring the above into their focus, or otherwise illuminate their awareness that the St. Ralph Sherwin Mass is a contemporary Mass setting by a Millennial era composer, and is, ahem, a way better choice than whatever Chris Walker churns out lately?
5. Who has engaged their own pastors in any of the above concerns in more than a handful of documented occasions?
6. Which of any DM's here present has regularly scheduled plenum music ministry meetings with their subordinate choirmasters, cantors, organist/accompanists and availed them of preferential advice and information that clearly outlines a systematic vision of musical reform for their parishes in the decades to come?
7. Who has held independent "hymn or Mass setting sing sessions" for the parish at large? Who has engaged RCIA personnel on a regular basis as to the valid and unique role that music serves in our rituals? Who has held skills improvement workshops for the laity as well as musicians in one's own parish and others in the area?

Let's hear these stories, anecdotal evidence rather than grandstanding bleacher bleating.
