Good job I'm not a Bishop! Give it time! Newman uses both sensus fidelium and consensus fidelium in On consulting the faithful... . A lot of subsequent writers seem to use them synonymously. I expect we agree: there's no place for quasi-political posturing in any kind of consultation of the faithfu...

At the same time, it's all very well asking peoples' opinion about things, but unless Catholics (ordinary or not) have the necessary experience and have done some background study into the topic under discussion you can very easily end up with, (in the words of the late Cardinal Heenan) 'Nothing bu...

Wow - he sounds cross - and rightly so, I think. I can't say I agree. Bishop Jabalé's indignation looks somewhat synthetic to me, and perhaps not chiefly for domestic consumption. The arguments in his statement don't seem to me to withstand scrutiny. Since it was possible to extend the consultatio...

Re: The Israeli Mass rides again

and the Lord, have mercy to Coronation Street ("Lord....................... havemercy!"] The middle eight from the Gathering Mass Holy Holy bears an uncanny resemblance, I've always thought. Just speed up a couple of the notes - Blessed, blessed is he-who comes (x 2). (Not as good as the bit from M...

This week's Tablet has an article which makes the bishops out to be more critical - lots of 'insiders' quoting various ways the bishops are said to be unhappy with the draft. And quite right, too, I reckon, having seen the draft the bishops have been considering. There are some good things about it,...

Re: What to do with potentially publishable music

Hi all, I have a setting of Exodus 15... If I were to offer it for publication, what's the process? I'm totally ignorant about this, so any offers of guidance will be gratefully received. Hi Gwyn, Nothing to it - send a copy with a short covering letter (saying you'd like to submit the enclosed ite...

Re: Hmmmmmmm ...

Pray tell, how wrong have I got it this time? No no, not wrong as such. I agree with you completely all the way up to the word "is". After that I think I'd want to say that the Mass is concerned at least as much with the events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday as Maundy Thursday. The Mass celebrate...

Re: Liturgically Inappropriate Music

Farrell - Jesus, Lamb of God [Hear our Prayer]. I'd been using this for years until it was pointed out to me that, if used as a Lamb of God setting, the line "through this bread and wine we share" is not an appropriate text - it's more than bread and wine at this point. (Arch)bishop Kelly shared th...

Interesting reading. The Adoremus article seems rather slight - the author tries to press the right buttons as far as her readers' prejudices are concerned, so there are sideswipes at inclusive language and the swinging sixties. The quotations from Liturgiam Authenticam are larded with the author's ...

Just worked out which team it was that got beeped for starting with a rude word... and realised that one of the contributors to this thread supports them Yep, Gooner and proud, though I'll try to keep it out of this august forum.
