Surely this isn't a reason to eliminate some of your favorite hymns from the CD you are so generously burning? :) <BR/>Apart from a funeral mass a few years back, I've never assisted at Mass at St. Mary's, so have no idea whatsoever. I'm sure it's what is thought of as "traditional" in Fr.

Doesn't matter -- he (I presume it was a he) didn't know what he was talking about. There is plenty of anglophone Catholic hymnody pre-Vatican II, and plenty of "Protestant" hymnody is pre-Reformation. The comment about the apparent Anglican flavour of the arrangments at the parish is somewhat off beam though -- the ideal assiniboinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245478607944139417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309896.post-1131988572944853772005-11-14T12:16:00.000-05:002005-11-14T12:16:00.000-05:00Oh my word -- I cannot wait!

I think there's one very simple explanation: until the Council, a lot of great Catholic hymnody was in Latin. It's no wonder that we use the great hymns of our Protestant brethren in worship. I don't see any problem with Protestant hymns per se -- especially when compared to some modern Catholic (and Protestant) Fr.

Intended of course to broaden your horizons. Many of my very favourites are omitted on the grounds that the acutely snotty comments about “Protestant hymns” in the links you provide suggest that one ought not to provide, say, the choirs of Westminster Cathedral, London; St Michael’s Cathedral, Toronto; assiniboinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245478607944139417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309896.post-1131979834720424912005-11-14T09:50:00.000-05:002005-11-14T09:50:00.000-05:00Incidentally, the cenotaph observance of Remembran...Incidentally, the cenotaph observance of Remembrance Day aka Veterans Day is 11.11.11 in the sense of being 11 a.m. on the 11th of November, but it was of course 1918. <BR/><BR/>You did "Dulce et Decorum Est" in high school?
