Americans youth do not, for the most part, train for classical music.

We have very few musicians, by percent, than we did 100 years ago. If you subtract the guitar and drums from the count.

The only place where classical music and musicians really thrive and are sought out is Asia.

As one famed musician said: Thank God for the Asians, otherwise the Western music tradition would die out.

The lights are going out quickly.

Organists are one of the reasons that churches are struggling to find members. The other reason is the pretend Peter Paul and Mary guitar players which remain a pestilence from Vatican II and the nonsense it gave us.

Go to a seeker church and learn why a church band matters.

Your response speaking like a judgemental lover of the TLM.

You sound just like Bergoglio:

The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults

Well maybe if you accept that not all Catholics are going to worship in a TLM parish. Also for the most part the NO parishes do the worship in a reverent manner.

Why are you making a BIG DEAL over it then?

Now I understand why Poe Francis does these insults, even though he should not be doing them. The answer could be found by taking a good look at a mirror.

I’m sure you do understand Bergoglio. Sick minds think alike.
