Thanks for the clarification!
That movie popped into my mind when I read the thread title.
***A few weeks later, another group, also from another country but with a radically different sound, shot to the top of the chart and would stay there for three months.***
Oh, Oh, let me guess! The SPIDERS! No, no, it was the BUGGS! The FLIES? No? That is a tough one! Man, I’m beat!
It might have been the Spiders...
I Didn't Want to Do It--The SpidersOr the Buggs!
Mersey, Mercy--The Buggs
Ironically those sickos have no idea how ineffective those threats are. Do they think the sisters are afraid of death? Not a chance.
I do find it interesting how hostile the evil ones are to Gregorian chant, both inside and outside the church.
IIRC she became a slave to fame after the remarkable success of “Dominique”. When she couldn’t reproduce that success she incrasingly despaired until ultimately committing suicide. I don’t think the after effects of worshipping her new god was covered in the feel good movie.
Sorry to be so harsh but I am increasingly convinced that we are in an escalating spiritual was and the evil one is using every human weakness to advance his cause.
Must be one of those 'East Coast" "West Coast" thangs...
Mr. Smalls could not be reached for comments...
The "feel good" movie came out in 1966, before she really began to stray away from the teachings of her church--and before the problems in her life really became serious.

Dominic of Osma, the subject of "Dominique," was a hero of that spiritual war. The song recounts how he fought in the Albigensian Crusade, converted heretics, inspired boys and girls, organized preachers, and traversed Europe from Scandinavia to the Riviera preaching the gospel. The fact a song such as this could go to number one and stay there for nearly a month makes me think that we must have lived in a different galaxy in 1963.
You can listen to the song while reading the lyrics here.
To be fair, the Dominicans were active in the Holy Inquisition too, being known as the most militant order of the Church before the founding of the Jesuit Order some time later.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T tell you what it means to me....
