Does it make any difference to you that the Pope sees it as a major issue?
Let me put it to you this way. John Paul II was very much for contemporary music at Mass. Did then, Cardinal Ratzinger, who was being groomed by John Paul II to be his successor, have an affinity for contemporary music at Mass that only changed when he became Pontiff? Probably not, yet he supported John Paul II.
Now that Cardinal Ratzinger is Pope Benedict XVI, he is making changes as he sees fit. And like our current Pope did when he was a Cardinal, I will support him, though I might not agree with him.
