He looks into sacred music and art. He sets up needed commissions for liturgy, music and sacred art

It would help if he knew something about music and art before setting up commissions on the topic.

LOL. But don't you realize that the entire purpose of setting up commissions is to avoid the need to actually learn anything about a topic?

Desdemona, I probably am about to violate all the norms of Freeping, but perhaps you'll bear with me. He doesn't have to know something about music and art. He just has to know someone who knows. Ratzinger works; observe that Ratzinger's congregation had its hand in this document. Have you checked out the section on vestments? It is very hard core, in fact cause to, you should forgive the expression, celebrate. (I've forgotten what my husband told me about paragraph breaks. Consider this one of those.) Perhaps the best thing so far (I've read nearly half) is the tone of voice. "This abuse is to be corrected with all haste." "This abuse is reprobated." Golly. It's Rome talking like Rome. Cheer up. This is from the wife of Black Elk, who doesn't know how to Freep.
