Is it about the music or the Real Presence of Our Lord?

What do you mean ........"or"?

Are there not angel choirs in heaven?

If ANY Catholic feels that music is needed for a proper Holy Mass or anything a human (other than the Priest) brings is important, that person’s focus is incorrect. Nothing a human brings beats the gift Our Lord is giving us.

"Beats"? What a strange word to use.

The music is not for us is it?

The Blessed Sacrament is God's gift to us.

Hymns are our humble songs of gratitude and praise in return. They're not meant to take the place of the Eucharist. They give voice to our heartfelt love.

We don't focus on the music.

We focus on the Eucharist and as a result of that focus we respond with hymns of praise and thanksgiving.

Surely some confusion.

You tell me.
In many parishes, there is no humility to it.
