Make Church Music Great Again - Or Stop Using It

From Brian Holdsworth


“The question shouldn’t be whether we can get away with it - it should be what is best for prayer.” Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help Music in worship cannot be governed by personal preference because worship is communal and directed toward an objective God; therefore, the music used must also be evaluated by objective standards - namely beauty, sacredness, and universality—since only what aligns with these can reliably elevate the heart and mind toward God rather than distract from Him.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
