Lose the guitars, flutes and drums, boys!
Death to the "folk music" mass!!!!
My parish has at least 40 "musicians" who participate in mass each week................
I guess they're going to have to go back to using their envelopes.....................

You know I just really have to object to the guitar being depicted somehow as intrinsically evil, I suppose because of the onslaught of rock n' roll on our culture, a lot of it good, but a whole lot of it bad.
In our church, the guitar is used a lot, but not in a folksy style at all. Its just another instrument no better or worse than the pipe organ or piano in its use to praise the Lord in song at Mass. I honestly don't understand this being part of any list of desired reforms. It just doesn't rank up there for me in any way like the shameful liturgical abuses occuring in too many churches.... like my parent's church in Ft. Worth that have the tabernacle in a little room BEHIND THE ALTAR, not even visible to ANYONE in the church. I guess I'm just so rebellious when I enter the church and genuflect anyway, after my mom told me why no one else does this. (I am pretty ashamed that I didn't notice that there was no tabernacle on the altar, that I only noticed the lack of the genuflecting practice in this church.) I have to say I just don't get it. Why, oh why do they put Our Lord in a little closet?
