I was raised Catholic, and some of the traditional hymns used in the 50s and 60s were beautiful. I don’t know what they are using now. Meanwhile, some of today’s Protestant songwriters have written some very beautiful songs. Darlene Zscech (I can never spell her name), formerly of Hillsong, comes to mind.

You’re definitely right Steve. I’m sure the speaker was being hyperbolic at points to prove the greater point that not enough creatively skilled believers are impacting Hollywood, and that too much of Christian content gets “sub-culturized?”

I almost kicked the pew in front of me when our choir began with music that was most definitely, O Sacred Head Surrounded, by Bach, but the lyrics were trite, and of course, all about “me, me, me,” and not Christ.
