These Masses likely did have attributes that are "less-than" inspirational or aesthetic success stories; one should remember that rarely do pilgrims have at their disposal professional or gifted amateur musical leadership. So, who knows really? I'm just glad for the folks who visited Medugorije and their ability to receive the Living Christ in that extraordinary place. Impromtu assemblies often produce awkward, very human moments. But I'm not sure they need represent the "English Masses" world-wide nor typify the ubiquity of "same old bad theology/bad music..." even here in the relatively more devoted, practicing USA RC's.<BR/>Complain away.

Sounds to me like the same old bad theology/bad music combos we complain about here in these USA states.<BR/>BMPBrian Michael Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836644567939527991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1150007812619857442006-06-11T02:36:00.000-04:002006-06-11T02:36:00.000-04:00And I take it, Brian, that your deduction of the w...And I take it, Brian, that your deduction of the worldwide state of the "English Mass" is surely "horrible" based upon one person's account which is based upon.....? Well, no particulars were offered to shed light upon the criteria of any of the vernacular Masses and (presumably) the attendant musics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
