Mass Appeal

The Pope has declared that electric guitars and other go-ahead "modern" music is not compatible with Christian worship. Not everyone agrees with him , especially Cardinal Carlo Furno, grand master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, who says,

Better to have guitars on the altar and rock and roll Masses than empty churches.
Having sat through, and subsequently avoided like the plague, my share of trendy services, I think that His Eminence would be more accurate using "and" instead of "than."

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
