Chaput goes in for modern music? If so, I’m very sorry to hear it. Frankly, that stuff drives me crazy.
I sang in the church choir here for a number of years, but we lost two excellent choir directors and ended up with what currently resembles a rock band. Couldn’t stand it, had to drop out of the choir, along with everyone else who used to sing in it.
Now, after communion and having returned to the pew to pray and meditate, I sometimes have to put my fingers in my ears, as unobtrusively as possible, to avoid being distracted at such an important time. The key offender actually plays his guitar very well, but he ought to be in a rock band playing in a bar while people down their whiskeys.
Romeri didn’t like Chaput’s preferences for Lady GaGa music in the service.
In my opinion, Chaput needs to return to the Latin and traditional hymns for this one time papal visit.
Spoken like a true Catholic. I prefer to sing a NEW song to the Lord.
I think of modern church songs as a little bit of purgatory on earth!
