One of the bad things about the Internet is that every self-absorbed yutz who thinks he’s better than others also seems to believe he’s a writer.

Amen.

The Catholic elementary school I went to had a music class we went to once or twice a week. Then for the school Mass on Fridays they rotated through the grades each week on who helped with everything and did the choir. For Sunday Mass they had a choir that did all the songs.

And I never liked it. Part of why I don’t like going to Church is because of the rather annoying music (and my church at least plays normal songs. St. Rita’s has a full-retard rock band for their Masses..). I need to try to find a decent Latin Mass somewhere in Dallas area.. with proper Gregorian chant, and nothing else.

My parish has a new adult/kids choir director and she LOVES and I MEAN LOVES beloved legendary Christian hymms such as “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Near The Cross”, “Just As I Am”, etc. Not surprised.

Do you know why Episcopalians can’t play chess?

Cause their Bishops can only move to the left?

Because they don't know how to play without multiple Queens?

Mostly it’s because they can’t tell the difference between a bishop and a queen.

Those in our parish who do not have good singing voices are encouraged to sing twice as loud so God can hear them.
