[Alberta's Child]

Tim Pereira was an altar boy and his father played guitar in the church's folk music group.

I think this one sentence holds the key to the whole issue. I'm sure you can find a direct correlation between the guitar/folk music nonsense and the mass exodus from the Catholic Church.

I thought that as well.

I try to avoid the hippie “music” every week.

Two Sundays ago I was driving to church and heard Joan Sutherland sing a religious carol on the radio - it was beautiful.

Then I walk into church to the most awful caterwauling:

“Ma-reee! Ma-reeeee! Wa-cha gon-na name your ba-A-beeee!”

Maybe you had to be there but all I could think of was - ‘this is just disrespectful’.
