You’re welcome. “Real” Catholics are real picky that liturgical (”within the mass”) music should always instruct correct doctrine. That’s why a lot of conservative Catholics hate Marty Haugen, the St. Louis Jesuits, etc.: They write real Catholic-SOUNDING music, without specifically heretical lines, but they out the emphasis on an entirely wrong point. For instance, “We bring a sacrifice of finest wheat,” is technically true, but downright offensive when the redemptive sacrifice is the eternal sacrifice made by Christ on Calvary, which we participate in by offering up our sinful, worldly ways (mortification).

To clarify:

“conservative Catholics hate Marty Haugen, the St. Louis Jesuits.”

Of course, good Christians don’t hate people. What I mean by that is that they hate the music of Marty Haugen and the St. Louis Jesuits, which have become brand names of sorts.

Seems strange you guys would steal a Protestant Hymn and change the words so you could sing it...

Maybe we should start singing Ava Maria but change the name...
