Fr. Corapi • Musicians are not the only people who are mistreated by the Catholic Church
I do think it worth pointing out, though, that a lot of what is giving people pause is that his materials are not Open Source the way the CMAA has made theirs. They are for profit and copyrighted and patented and trademarked and have been sold for h…

Book Review
I just read it and lent it to someone else in my choir! What a fun book! I wonder if any priests have really experienced a Lady Chatterly.

Can't come soon enough for me! Have I been waiting my whole life, or what? I'll have to have a party that day.

Liturgy and Church Music : by Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict)
Yes I am RC. I just never really figured out what a worship committee was. I don't believe we have one at our church which is probably why we have such a great Mass. I have been RC my whole life except a few years when I did not practice. I…

And who do the priests think they are employed by? The parish council? the "worship committee", whatever that is?

please you guys. Don't go giving your awesome talent to the other churches. Stay playing in the Catholic church. We need you here! Ok, pay your bills if you need to but when you get them paid come back.

Choral settings of Newman texts
Maureen , thanks for telling us about Dream of Gerontius. I'd never heard of it, and now that I've read it, I'm in love with it! Can you fall in love with a poem? I am. I even took it to Adoration to prayerfully read, never has …

I don't think Regina Doman is a Byzantine. Did she say that? She just likes Byzantine chant. I doubt she was raised Byzantine Catholic. If I'm wrong I stand corrected. Grace and nature don't have anything to do with Alaska. Ste…

The priests who do this are wimpy. Speaking of priests, I had no idea that there was anything like a new priest blessing you and then you kiss his hand. I got to do this a week ago Sunday. Ahhh! And this particular new priest is the Bomb! We hav…

Here's an essay to read regarding the FUS music that offers an interesting perspective. It's by Regina Doman, people may be familiar with her because of the books she writes. http://www.theuniversityconcourse.com/I,6,4-23-1996/Schmiedic…

I wouldn't be so hard on FUS. I went there. The Eucharist is revered there like no other place I know. There's lots of confession, lots of vocational discernment, lots of holiness. The Jim Cowan music we sang - and I still sing when I …

Who is inspired by a wimpy choir director? Who wants to sing for a choir that won't be serious? You get there on time, you show up or you let the appropriate person know ahead of time, and while you're there, you focus and you work. How do…

My own choir director has the solution to this and any other problem his singers might pose. It's called: LTWK

The GIRM says no eulogies? Was there something lost in the translation?
At my dad's funeral, we had a nicely done funeral, Mass was said by my dear, reverent Jesuit uncle, Dad's brother. But my dad's friend, also a priest, invited anyone at the end to come up and "say a few words" after he did. …
