"And as for "Latin Mass" requiring a lot of singing - well, the mass Father does is the same as almost every other parish in Omaha, the responses are the same - just in Latin."

This is not true. Father Stravinskas demands we chant the responses as in true Gregorian Latin Masses. This would be different if he owned up and called it a Latin mass instead of trying to call it a Lithuanian Mass and not allowing true Lithuanian liturgical responses like other churches do.

You do not know as much as you think you do about masses and the music allowed (and not allowed) during masses of all types.

You are absolutely correct.
While I was on the east coast I attended a true Lithuanian Mass and the singing and liturgical responses were wonderful. I miss these!

You never heard of Father Stravinskas before 1996!! He had written many best sellers, was the head of the Catholic league, had appeared on many TV shows, including EWTN, etc.

I don't know of too many that purport to be catholic that didn't know of Father Stravinskas.

Stravinskas is a well known author. Have you read anything by Dr. Sungenis?
