Pope prefers Medieval music for mass
[I can't say how much this makes me smile! This has to be one of the best things Pope Benedict has done for the Church so far in his pontificate. Maybe now we shall see a return to Catholicism in its true form.]
Silence modern music in church, says Pope
By Malcolm Moore in Rome
(Filed: 27/06/2006)
The Pope has demanded an end to electric guitars and modern music in church and a return to traditional choirs.
The Catholic Church has been experimenting with new ways of holding Mass to try to attract more people. The recital of Mass set to guitars has grown in popularity in Italy; in Spain it has been set to flamenco music; and in the United States the Electric Prunes produced a "psychedelic" album called Mass in F Minor.
However, the use of guitars and tambourines has irritated the Pope, who loves classical music. "It is possible to modernise holy music," the Pope said, at a concert conducted by Domenico Bartolucci the director of music at the Sistine Chapel. "But it should not happen outside the traditional path of Gregorian chants or sacred polyphonic choral music."

So on top of all the other ways he wants to tell people how to behave and what they can and cant do, now this arrogant idiot (real name: Rat-zinger) wants to tell people what type of music they are permitted to hear!?
"Maybe now we shall see a return to Catholicism in its true form."
Yes, Catholicism in its true form. This is a good example of "Catholicism in its true form", the Pope ordering people how to live
Catholicism "in its true form" is slavery to the Pope! See here:

Too bad we dont burn heretics anymore.
Protestant,
In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton makes a good analogy about the authority of the Church:
"Catholic doctrine and discipline may be walls; but they are the walls of a playground...We might fancy some children playing on the flat grassy top of some tall island in the sea. So long as there was a wall round the cliff's edge they could fling themselves into every frantic game and make the place the noisiest of nurseries. But the walls were knocked down, leaving the naked peril of the precipice. They did not fall over; but when their friends returned to them they were all huddled in terror in the centre of the island; and their song had ceased."
Lack of real loving fathers and mothers in this age of satanic pornocracy produces infantile broken personalities intolerant of all benevolent hierarchy.
