I'm happy to add the links to Fr. Pope's great musical selections:

"He Touched Me" with Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band (Link)

"O Magnum Mysterium" from Holy Trinity, Coventry (Link)

And I wrote this to Fr. Pope:

Dear Msgr Pope,

I just want you to know that a hundred times, a thousand times more people read and love your blog, than the people who respond on this page. You get republished and reprinted by lots of people who re-post your articles. We appreciate this: we love you for it.

BTW, pairing “He Touched Me” with “O Magnum Mysterium” is just an act of genius. So many Catholics seemingly ignore — even scorn — the “Five White Guys in Ties” Evangelical style. This is great, this musical breadth. This evangelizes our hearts. It’s so..(I bow in respect to my Protestant brethren)…..Catholic.
