Lord pray that the Catholics don’t make the error we Protestants have. Don’t let these retarded modern praise songs take the place of the old hymns.
Its just repeating some hypnotic rhyming chant,, again and again, and again.

“Lord pray that the Catholics don’t make the error we Protestants have. Don’t let these retarded modern praise songs take the place of the old hymns.”

Amen to that! We’ve had to relocate a few times because of DH’s job. When I’m calling (Baptist) churches to get a list of potentials, I ask two questions: (1) What version of the Bible do you use? (2) What hymnal do you use?

The contemporary airy-fairy choruses and hymns are all about feeling good (although they’re mostly annoying). Give me “A Mighty Fortress” or “No Other Plea” — things that are heavy in Theology and make a person think.

Sadly, in most parishes, you're a few decades late.
