Keep calling OCP and requesting traditional songs.

I hate most of their music, but they are putting more and more traditional music in the hymnals.

The thing I hate about their music is that it’s “me” centered instead of the traditional Catholic hymns that are “God” centered.

I won’t sing some of them. I just bow my head, fold my hands in front of me and pray prayers of reparation with my eyes closed. (Wish I could shut my ears too......LOL!)

Giggle. You reminded me of William F. Buckley's thoughts on the "new Mass":

...Meanwhile, I am practicing Yoga, so that, at church on Sundays, I can develop the power to tune out everything I hear, while attempting, athwart the general calisthenics, to commune with my Maker, and ask Him first to forgive me my own sins, and implore him, second, not to forgive the people who ruined the Mass.

PS: The St Louis Catholic hedges when attributing this to WFB, Jr., but I remember the quote reprinted in NR several years ago. It is from Mr. Buckley.
