**theologically in line with Catholic Doctrine and are appropriate for Litugry**
Hitting the nail on the head. There are some hymns that I absolutely will NOT sing, because they do not reflect Catholic doctrine. For example, “Amazing Grace”
Just curious, where does Amazing Grace divert from Catholic doctrine?
Salvation:
That is one that I refuse to sing as well. The Term wretched has definite calvinist double predestination implications and thus, as I said before, I also refuse to sing it as well.

It is disgusting that this is allowed in Catholic Churches; it has become widespread. If the Church allows people to sing a song in which they indicate they are already saved, they shouldn’t be surprised when those same parishioners don’t even bother going to Mass anymore. They don’t have to; they’re “saved”.
