Why is it the Pope can purge the Church of modern music but he can't purge it of modern ideas like evolution?

Maybe Darwin's words set to Gregorian Chant would be the ultimate expression of Catholicism?

Gregorian chant or Praise music, which one could I do without? Does the Pope consider the Hallelujah Chorus by Handel to be modern music? If this is the case, he is right on course with his trip to the Turkish mosque or his statement about Protestants not being real Christians.

I don’t ‘spose Mercy Me will be invited to the Vatican anytime soon, will they?

And surely not the Reformed Bob Dylan.

the organ and organ playing like in a second-rank country parish church."

We should just forbid those country parishes from singing altogether.

Just a bunch of stupid farmers -- I say just excise the whole batch. Then we don't have to worry about their wretched music!
