Re: Colloquium with László Dobszay
and Alcuin Reid's The Organic Development of the Liturgy is well worth the read - and it says a lot about active participation. Alcuin Reid's views, while interesting, have been comprehensively hung out to dry in respectable journals such as Worship . While evidently a scholar, he also evidently ha...

Re: Colloquium with László Dobszay
The problem is that no one can see who the "flame" was about, due to the vital omission of the conjunction "and". In fact it referred to two people who had already been mentioned in the thread. It was nothing to do with the Society of St Catherine of Siena. The second problem, wh...

Re: Archbishop of Westminster
Thank you, petrasancta . Yes, let's split hairs. But most countries have instances where one might have suggested that not more than one cardinal could subsist simultaneously and in fact there were two (or more). Curial cardinals existing at the same time as cardinals in the diocese they originated ...

Re: Colloquium with László Dobszay
I'm very happy to admit that I might have been overhasty in my judgement. However, Tim Finigan's Hermeneutic of Continuity blog (named after something that BXVI didn't actually say) is not a nice place to be at all [edited for flaming (forum rule 1) - moderator] Forgive me if I seem somewhat cynical...

Re: Colloquium with László Dobszay
What this event is about is trying to persuade people that they ought to be using chant for everything in preference to anything else, which is a highly debatable assumption. SC, do you know this, or do you merely suspect it? In other words, are you making "a highly debatable assumption"?...

Re: Co-ordinating parish music
It seems to me that this is not so much about styles of music as about having someone who has a broad enough vision to be able to bring the whole parish together. What they need is a proportion of common repertoire - say the acclamations during the Eucharistic Prayer. It's got nothing to do with peo...

Re: Colloquium with László Dobszay
Some may be interested to know of an up-coming event organised by the Society of St. Catherine of Siena: Alter ad Alterum: The Seraphic Voice in the Liturgy - A Colloquium on the Possibilities for Chant at Mass and other Occasions. It's to be held at the London Oratory School on 1st June. Here is a...

Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
Re Southern Comfort's proposal ... I believe this might have been mentioned in a Liturgy Office publication about Celebrating the feast.

Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
In our case, all deacons go on to become priests. I hope you don't mean this. Is there no provision for rooting out unsuitable candidates out even at that late stage?! What you mean is that all your deacons are transitional, rather than permanent. Yes, I realise that St Laurence is probably not a v...

Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
Some would say that a deacon is a misplaced addition to the rite. Certainly the ones who can't preach and lumber around the sanctuary like elephants..... But you're right, musicus; Let's not get started on that.

Re: Terrors of the Triduum
Now I know that some would advocate total immerson as an ideal but as I watched each of the Elect enter the pool, kneel and then be forced backwards into the water three times I did think this was more brutal than obviously sacramental. I could hear tittering around me. One of the Elect almost refu...

Re: Using Midi
You keep telling us what you can do, and do do, without telling us how Because I have no idea – as I understand that a violin stringing vibrating at 440pm will produce a concert A and when the length of a string is halved the note shoots up and octave. But I don't need to know how, I just need to k...
