The traditionalists want to rout the 'liberals' in music, too

A return to chant

"The liturgy is not ours," he said.
"It belongs to Christ."
"We participate in it, we don't create it."

Yes, but Jesus didn't sing in Gregorian Chant any more than he spoke in King James English.

" Jeffrey Tucker, managing editor of Sacred Music magazine, said, "There is a growing realization that the Mass is a liturgical package that includes music embedded as part of its structure, and that that music is Gregorian chant.""

So some would say.

""Composers have been without a rudder, borrowing music from the secular world, frequently making the melody primary, instead of the words of Scripture," he said."

This I can agree with...

The problem with most of the people who want to move back to a more traditional Mass is that they seem to want to throw out everything that has come about since Vatican II. They want to do the same thing to the changes that occurred that they accuse the people who have worked for change of doing to everything more traditional. I can hardly wait to go back to seeing the little old ladies mumbling their rosaries to themselves throughout Mass and straining to hear even a word of the Latin that the priest is praying to himself facing away from the congregation. That's the kind of worship that God must want, I guess...
