Hymns written by non-Catholics denying the real presence and reflecting Protestant theology are greatly confusing to the Catholic faithful, since they are published in the OCP songbook used in a majority of Catholic churches in this country

But they give protestants who go to Catholic churches, like me, something to look forward to...

Seriously, though, it cannot have escaped your notice that V-II marked the conversion en masse of the Roman Catholic hierarchy to what is similar to a type of Protestantism.

I think Catholics who are in rebellion against this are brave and intellectually honest, but they must answer the following:

If the Pope and the bishops united with him teach something that is different from that which was taught by prior Popes, is it valid?

And if you say no, are you really Catholic?

25% of these parishes in Boston will be closed within weeks. You better convert now and enjoy it while it lasts because the Novus Ordo is shrinking like a salt-sprayed slug.

As the homosexuality of the new OCP songbook artists gets exposed, the drive toward sacred polyphony will hasten.
