Wow, something I agree with the Pope on. My wife and I detest this new music. It’s almost enough to make me want to become Catholic. Do you think the Pope would allow Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”? Oh well, just a thought.

It’s actually not that uncommon to find hymns penned by Luther at Mass. I’ve heard a few in my day.

Several years ago there was a program from the Vatican. I don’t remember if it was Christmas or Easter. The music during the procession was...”A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”. I couldn’t believe my ears.

“A Mighty Fortress” has been sung at Catholic masses.

Been there, done that. Since the late 1960's.

Y'all gotta get with the program.

But the best Protestant hymnody still has names like "Wesley" and "Vaughn Williams" attached to it.
