Mud Instead of Music in Catholic Churches – Cardinal Sarah

I love the comparison! Even here, in the Diocese of Lincoln, we get a lot of trite, unsingable 'mud'.

From Gloria.tv

Sarah has stated that certain forms of music used in Catholic churches go against the soul's "elementary right" to intimacy which he puts on the same level as the "human rights".

Such music causes the inner silence to break "like a dike that yields under the pressure of a torrent of mud", Sarah added.

Writing on HommeNouveau.fr (October 2), he pointed out that it is the responsibility of bishops and priests to prevent this.

[But nevertheless it happens everywhere and all the time.]

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
