“What, in your opinion, constitutes ‘doing enough’?”
You didn’t ask me, but IMO, doing enough would encompass the excommunication of everyone connected with the production, sale, purchase, and use of that Satanic dreck.
Show Me.
They can't make you sing that piece. You're quite free to stand mute in protest.
I do that ...
I talked with my priest in Confession about this. He said it was OK not to sing some of the songs. I told him I just bow my head and pray for the person who chose the yucky song.
So, you are right. We don’t have to sing. I also like silence after Communion and I never sing the song. Just pray and pray and pray — usually until the deacon or priest sits down.
We will have to wait and see. But the new missalette isn’t too bad, other than the Revised NAB — please let us have the Jerusalem or RSV or Douay translations!
I have no idea about the music edition that will come out the first week of Advent — but I was very pleased with the music contents of this part!
I believe this will be a slow process. No yucky art on the cover and no Haugen, Hass, Hurd, Schuette music in the regular misallette. Music edition — I’ll pass judgment on that later. Look at how long it took for the new translations!
I just learned recently that OCP publishes liturgy misallettes and music edition for other faiths — Lutheran being one of them, from the way the person talked. We were talking about Marty Haugen and how he isn’t even a Catholic. Were you aware of that?
So happy for you and your parish.

Our missallette won’t change until Advent, so I will have to wait until then to see any changes. :(
