Pope St. Pius X writing on Sacred Music for the Church: "The more closely a composition for church approaches in its movement, inspiration and savor the Gregorian form, the more sacred and liturgical it becomes; and the more out of harmony it is with that supreme model, the less worthy it is of the temple."
and
"The employment of the piano is forbidden in church, as is also that of noisy or frivolous instruments such as drums, cymbals, bells and the like."
@IanSamuel88 ...and how long ago was this written? The piano has become the primary instrument of worship in many churches. In most modern churches, an organ is completely impractical.
