At the Cathedral, Bishop Vasa would usually intone the "through Him, with Him, in Him", and then the choir would chime in with a rollicking country-style "Amen". I wondered why they couldn't hear the incongruity; they are musicians after all!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927474235629912604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-46326500983253581172012-04-25T07:07:49.814-07:002012-04-25T07:07:49.814-07:00I had to jump into this one.

All three published by the Oregon Catholic Press now only known at the OCP. The OCP is infested with progressives. Here is how it goes when you walk into church. The choir is in full practice. So if you want to say any before mass prayers, forget it. You can't hear yourself think. Our choir director is dressed like she is out for a stroll down main street. Most times she is wearing jeans and flip flops on her feet. When she uses the organ she kicks off the flip flops and plays bare foot. I have no idea who picks what is to be sung. Our Pastor is a very nice man but refuses to have anything to do with singing. We do have a Parochial Vicar that will try to sing the priest parts but sometimes he has a conflict with what the choir is doing. Anyway at times I just want to scream.<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
