Vatican Purge On Modern Music
“POPE to purge the Vatican of modern music,” says the Telegraph.
How far we are from the true spirit of sacred music. How can we stand it that such a wave of inconsistent, arrogant and ridiculous profanities have so easily gained a stamp of approval in our celebrations?” he said.
He added that a pontifical office could correct the abuses, and would be “opportune”. He said: “Due to general ignorance, especially in sectors of the clergy, there exists music which is devoid of sanctity, true art and universality.”
If a Muslim leader spoke out against modern music, what then the headline?

I experimented with modern music is our church when I was in my early twenties. A few years later, I was so bored with it I tried to revive latin hymns and polyphonic music, and was confronted by the Parish Priest who dislike Latin.
When the Pope annouced that traditional music should be preserved, You cannot imagine how happy I was. Unfortunately, it did not take off here. Nevertheless, this Pope has given me a lot of joy.

…and Charlotte Church is so indecent she’s showing her private parts on the internet. Abandonment of classical church music is not good.
