Look at you all, so hateful for people worshiping God with a joyful heart! Biblical worship includes clapping our hands, raising our voices, raising our hands, dancing before Him, worshiping Him with a joyful heart. This is truly a joyful mass (even though the mass contradicts what Scripture teaches [I thank God everyday that my priest in my teen years was born again andstayed in the church to bring God's truth back t it, He was Baptist by nature, he blessed me whe I saght a Baptist congregation
The fact that they are going for something that has some life in it is a great sign. Sure, it may not be the most pro or natural rendition of the song, but the fact they are going for it means they are wanting something new. Also, there's a crowd singing, another sign that the new is desired. Gregorian chant? The Church should be alive and active not a curator of museum pieces & artefacts. Chant is good, but shouldn't be considered the only unifying music. What did people do before Gregor?
@Abitofrespectplease Before Gregorian Chant was Ambrosian Chant. Both of these came, not from the Church alone, but from the ancient melodies sung by even Our Lord Himself in the Temple in Jerusalem. Regarding Gregorian Chant, the Second Vatican Council said: The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given principal place in liturgical services (Sacrosanctum Concillium). This video does not fulfill that.
It's actually not a bad setting for the Alleluia, but the way it was done here was just horrible. If you're going to take all the rhythm out of something, then don't clap to it.
It had no life to it.
In my experience, people are very enthusiastic even for more modern music if it is done correctly, with integrity and most of all with the intent that it raise the hearts and minds of those to God and not have them thinking --what the heck is going on?
I don't generally say anything about these types of things.
I was under the impression this particular rendition of the 'Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia', or any partial saying of Alleluia, is specifically banned throughout the entire Church and has been for quite some time.
I am also under the impression that the original poster agrees with this sentiment.
@ammazzamoro How right you are, on both counts. The Diocese of Rochester seeks to "celebrate diversity," but this was no community of Caribbean Catholics. The unifying factor of worship was, and still is, the use of Latin and Gregorian Chant.
its a nice setting but the clapping is AWEFUL! wayyyyyyy to protestant

Notice it's bunch of older crowd. This generation will soon be out of the Church, and the younger more tadtional crowd will take over. Deo gratias

It's sad to see this happening, genjlcgettys. I am definitely praying for all of you there in Rochester.
