“Our music will soon improve at all the Masses”

Good luck with that, I’ve been waiting, how many years?

Truck out the good old stuff, I mean really old, Handel, etc.

Clearly there were many big mistakes made in the late 20th century. Vatican Council II was one of them.

It would be fitting and proper if the RC Church took a lead in finding the way back.

There's an authentic tradition of Catholic church music which long predates Mr. Handel. It's making a comeback -- and not just for the Tridentine rite, either..

Handel, BTW, was a German Protestant employed by a English Protestant King, so I'm not sure I'd be too hasty to associate his very fine music with the Catholic tradition.
