In this case the Monsignor is totally thinking about the Baptist;s point of view.Pffft! As if that sort of thing ever happens!

I can explain all sorts of things, like Mary worship, that doesn’t make it right.

First step for the “reformed” — read the Church Fathers.

What this thread needs: Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.

Many modern songs go on at great length about how we are the gathered, we are the flock, we have been sung throughout all of history, we are Gods song, etc. When God is mentioned it is more in relation to us, rather than us being in relation to Him. He is all about us, and this seems to please us greatly.

Oh, boy, is that ever on target!
Interesting that the monsignor quotes 2 Days — Thomas and then Daniel. Going from Day to Day. :)

Reformers did. That is partially why there was a Reformation.

I used to sing in our church choir. Soprano section! Unfortunately, older age and respiratory problems have kicked in, and I just can't hit those notes like I used to. When I can breathe well enough, I do my best from my pew. I may sound like a frog to the person next to me, but I mean it with all my heart, and God knows that... So, I believe to Him, I sound pretty good! :)
Hey, maybe if I get to Heaven, He'll give me back my voice!
God bless you!

We are to make a joyful noise. No mention if it has to be on key or in anyway pretty.

Perhaps "messed up" isn't quite the term. It is still our Service where bread and wine become Jesus: Body; Blood; Soul, and Divinity.
One language is a good thing: my Dad used to speak with tears in his eyes, how he heard Mass in the middle of nowhere near the battlefront. Neither he nor the priest spoke the same language, but the Mass was in Latin, and all understood. It was one of his most cherished memories!
God bless you!

I understand what you are saying. Red is difficult to read. Thanks for your input as a webmaster.
