Brilliant! I love the moo moo stuff. What CD? The funny (or sad) thing is that I wrote a spoof article about this for the April 1st edition of our diocesan newspaper a few years ago, saying that it had been disovered in Bavaria or somewhere, and wrote a pseudo plainchant setting of it. which was pri...

Priceless! But does anyone remember the long-lost but recently discovered antiphon:

"Senex filius imperator mundi fundum habebat" ?

I would hope that nobody here would not welcome anyone into the Church. I became a Catholic at 16, went to seminary, decided that the priesthood was not for me, and have happily and I hope reasonably successfully engaged in a music ministry for the last 30 or so years, 20 of them being in my current...

It's far from implausible to suggest that a good number of them might wonder why they shouldn't. And it might be difficult to provide a good reason why they should not be allowed to. Well for a start Paul, if they were to leave the Catholic Church, become Anglicans. get ordained, then re-enter the ...

I think Kung has diversified too much - his classic books like The Church and Infallible? were well within his subject area of ecclesiology and even On Being a Christian , despite its being messy in parts, was rooted in his Catholicicity.

No, seriously, he does; at least I've just found out that it is requested for a funeral on Monday at 10.00am, along with "I heard the voice of Jesus say". Any chance of a copy of both or either from anyone? PDFs will be destroyed, with great pleasure, at precisely 10.55am. Deus in ajdutori...

So says Ruth Gledhill on today's Times blog, picked up by the BBC, CNN and others. A full 6-day state visit, if everything is to be believed, with venues on the draft itinerary listed as London, Oxford, Liverpool and Edinburgh, addresses to both Houses of Parliament in Westminster Hall, staying wit...

The first thing is to establsh what your PP means by "musician" and ask him what he thinks you are if you are only called in beauase of the "musicians'" absence; the second would be to refer him to GIRM; the third is to ask him why he doesn't obey his employers - yes, that's us, ...

musicus wrote:IIRC, Soul of my Saviour also received a make-over in Praise the Lord Revised

I don't think anyone uses that one today.

Indeed, and I wionder if anyone ever did? I asked recently how that arrangement slipped through but haven't had an answer.Yet.

Well they did include the Hail Mary.... Two cheers for the Rock Cakes!
