The quick answer is to recruit musical Episcopalians.

Our music is the best, and the reason I have stuck with the church during its slow-motion collapse. See above.

Actually, there are plenty of us Catholics available. We're willing.

The role of anti-Catholic secret societies in spreading confusion and disorder in the Catholic Church is a subject worthy of deeper research with regard to the aesthetic terrorism on the loose in AmChurch. The phenomenon of bad taste seems more American and modern than a conspicuously Catholic phenomenon. I don't know enough about organized sodomy and anti-Christian secret societies in Episcopalianism to be in a position to advise recruiting from those ranks.

A low Mass said in Latin reverently does the job. Priest I knew could pull this off in 25 minutes. Seminary faculty might want to explore this. The musical circus can get a bit much. Not all that keen on loud organ grinding myself...

Some orthodox Catholic version drawing from the Cambridge, Oxford, Vatican, and Vienna choir traditions is something bishops should consider as a goal for liturgical music during this great and vibrant period of "renewal." I'm still waiting for that new "spring time" up ahead...
