Okay, then why all the resistence to organ and chant?

Frankly, chant is a thousand times easier to sing and the organ blends better with the voice. I'd rather use that. AND I got out the St. Gregory earlier - there's music for absolutely everything in there. SO what if it's in Latin...

Let me state clearly: the queers who ran the 'implementation' both in Rome and over here were queers. Among other things, queers are SUBVERSIVES--Mike Jones at Fidelity/Culture Wars has put together a very solid case. What will they subvert? The Church!! What else? Start with the Mass, and destroy all that is sacred. Chant is good--thus replace it with Hootenanny. Organ is good--replace it with gittar/banjo/fingercymbals.
Sacred space and time is good--replace it with warped "art" and applause. No thanks on the incense, and bells.

It's not resistance from these perverts: it's downright subversiveness. They are ENEMIES of the CHurch, and draw a damn nice living from Her.

Most of the liturgy-committee- ministers are simply stupid in EVERY sense of the word. THey are ignorant of history, art, moment, time, space, ceremony, elegance, truth, goodness, and beauty. They resist because Chant and Latin require THOUGHT--something they don't have the tools or time to deal with.

Further, Aquinas has stated that sin 'dims the mind.' Their fruits tell us all we need to know about them.
