St. Charles Borromeo in his youth allowed himself no other amusement but that of grave music, with a view to that of the Church.

“As to music as an amusement, too much time must never be given to it; and extreme care ought to be taken, as a judicious and experienced tutor observes, that children be not set to learn it very young, because it is a thing which bewitches the senses, dissipates the mind exceedingly, and alienates it from serious studies, as daily experience shows. Soft and effeminate music is to be always shunned with abhorrence, as the corrupter of the heart and the poison of virtue.”

All I can say is this:

Christian rock has driven me closer to Christ.
