  • The "noble simplicity" you mention is in fact the infusion into the Mass of that rank beast known as Protestantism.

    Read Joseph Ratzinger's The Spirit of the Liturgy. Also Klaus Gamber's Reform of the Roman Liturgy: Its Problems and Background. Along with Martin Mosebach's The Heresy of Formlessness. Finally, google for this:

    The Case for the Latin Mass by Dietrich von Hildebrand

  • Its almost ironic that the Protestants have done better with revernace in Church and preserving Gregorian Chant of the Church than the Church herself.

  • I feel the same.

  • Uggg-Did the Pope at least set out a kneeler for his communicants?

  • Amen, brother!

  • Again, I find it so interesting that our Protestant brethren have overall done a much better job of preserving the Church's beautiful musical tradition than the Church from which this tradition originated! Heck, even the choir at my very secular public school reguarly sings Gregorian chant, but we're lucky if we hear it once a year at my parish during Mass.

  • It's interesting that the NO on the weekdays is a trial for you, since I'm assuming we're talking about spoken Masses. Personally, I think there's something to be said for the "noble simplicity" of the Ordinary Form spoken in English. However, if you're going to go the "high church" route, nothing beats Latin chant, whether you're using the Ordinary or Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.

  • I have two very close friends. One is Episcopalian, the other is Lutheran. Both sing in their church choirs. Both of them reguarly get to sing all kinds of beautiful Gregorian chant (yes, in Latin). Don't people realize that this solemnity appeals more to our Protestant brethren than our efforts to imitate other musical styles? Given this fact, I'm wondering why we gave up on chant, particularly when Vatican II urged that it be given "pride of place" in the Sacred Liturgy.

  • I think my eardrums just blew out.

  • Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!
