Bingo. The vast majority of liturgical music sounds as if it were written to appeal to ten-year-old girls. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or in a Disney movie.

I refer to them as "Jesus is My Boyfriend" songs.

Us Episcopalians are glad to continue to use the music that the Catholics abandoned. I’m in the choir in my parish and I’ve sung Bach, Beethoven, Tallis, Mozart, Bird, Palestrina, etc., etc.

It is not just the Catholic church, or Protestant churches, it is the culture as a whole. Things have become so overtly feminine orenated, that men have been pushed to the side.

There are choices, try a Byzantine Catholic Liturgy, pure worship and praise.

You got that right and a young woman teacher with a musical voice will tell the kids that David went out and slew the giant just as if she were telling the story of Alice in wonderland.
