Sed contra: ...

Sure, we should always give God our best, and the liturgy ought to be an instance of that.

Sure, the words, the setting, the music all matter.

BUT the gift of the Secred Body and Precious blood is beyond all else. And in a pig-sty, with words written by inarticulate clowns or, worse, even by the translators of the NAB it is still the “still point” of the turning world, the focus of the saving act of God.

So, let’s make the setting as excellent as possible. But this diamond would shine in a ring from a Crackerjacks box.

That pretty much sums up the music.
