I felt personally attacked by the Globe article, but now I feel comforted by the hundreds of encouraging comments.<br />Thanks and keep up the good work!<br />Balint Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356857750204551006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286388834296162537.post-62402955583925103982012-10-27T11:31:46.424-04:002012-10-27T11:31:46.424-04:00Thank you for this superb post.

The issue with the organ is, indeed, part of the larger picture of understanding what the Church asks of us for appropriate and quality music in the Liturgy. The 50th anniversary of the start of the Second Vatican Council is a time to again state clearly what the Church actually says, as there will be those using this year for the opposite purpose.linsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497907010475812953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286388834296162537.post-88165865095536385972012-10-26T16:41:31.644-04:002012-10-26T16:41:31.644-04:00I hadn't seen that article before reading this...I hadn't seen that article before reading this post, and would like to thank you for your excellent response.

Turned out it was the under 29's that most wished to retain the traditional forms.<br /><br />It just kills me how many clergy are unaware that the organ is the traditional instrument for church because it's the one that best underpins congregational singing!<br /><br />http://hayleyzeller.tumblr.com/post/23187703678/pandering-to-youth-demographics-in-the-churchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286388834296162537.post-43474823727539869372012-10-26T16:24:31.301-04:002012-10-26T16:24:31.301-04:00Well said.

The article was a classic example of "Post Hoc Propter Hoc" fallacy, and perhaps that in itself is a touchstone for what is causing the problem - the fact that we're no longer teaching the Faith and that which support it: The Trivium, Quadrivium, and LATIN.DavePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238492077378242189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286388834296162537.post-24365290824078477652012-10-26T14:20:50.599-04:002012-10-26T14:20:50.599-04:00Bravo!Bravo!Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555304289913464550noreply@blogger.com
