It isn't just the music. There is good and bad taste in tunes, but the real problem is the theology of the songs. I am a Lutheran and our hymns have been rightly called "singing icons" in that the old hymns really teach theology to tune. The old Catholic hymns used to.

Now, they sound like so much pop culture pablum, and at times are not only bad theology but 100% out of phase. So going back to the old hymns is a good idea.

One thing that's occurred to me is that since the post VCII enablers demanded contemporary praise music, shouldn't the crap that was contemporary 30 years ago be being retired now and new contemporary crap be being put in its place?
