Songs or hymns may not be used in place of the responsorial Psalm.

That's from the 2003 rubrics.

Guess what a lot of "ministers of music" inflict on congregations?

Yeah, that's right. Banal songs and gross (nearly unrecognizable) paraphrases of the Psalm.

The real scandal, here, is that their Pastors let them get away with it.

Because of

1.) Ignorance
2.) Belligerence
3.) Laziness
4.) A combination of #1 and #2
