Jeffrey Tucker at NLM found this (Arlington) Catholic Herald article. Man, is it ever easy to tell which big name union would endorse such bull$&!+ and write it off as "diversity". Diversity my @$$!
Mr. Tucker said it right when he said:
The problem is that this is contradicted at every point by the whole of Church teaching on music. Personally, I find it incredible that that a central mandate of the Second Vatican Council, so clearly stated in the conciliar documents, could be so easily passed over: namely, that Gregorian chant and polyphony are uniquely suited to Roman Rite worship. Paul VI reinforced this and mandated chant in strong terms. John Paul II further stated that the closer a piece of music approaches the sensibility of chant, the more appropriate it is. Benedict has said the same and more.
But instead of listening, we just sort of make things up as we go along, acting as if the choice of liturgical music is akin to the choice of which radio station we want to listen to.
Peace,

What a BUNCH of tools!!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: at Mass, we are literally at the foot of the Cross. All we really have to ask ourselves about music, postures, or anything else is: would this be appropriate on Calvary? And if the answer is NO, then we shouldn't do it!
