“Pope Ratzinger prefers Mozart and Bach to 'pop' music and thus, after 12 years, the traditional Vatican Christmas concert comes to an end,” the daily La Stampa said.
“It is impossible not to notice a change under the new pontiff,” the ANSA news agency said.
“Benedict XVI is a very sober pope and is not inclined toward variety shows. He is more concerned about leading the faith of Catholics to its spiritual essence.”
Ahhh...

Gotta love the Holy Father...he cancels a pop concert, he replaces a long-time politico and diplomat with a theologian as Vatican Secretary of State, he puts theologians in ecumenical positions (instead of diplomats), and this list goes on. Let's see what bishop he sends to Dallas.>
I can't wait to see what bishop he sends to my diocese of Springfield, MO in the next few months.>
I think the Vatican has *still* not named a new bishop of Youngstown, Ohio (where my last parish is), even though Bp. Tobin was moved to Providence quite a few months ago now.>
Not a catholic, but anything that moves us past the wasteland that popular music has been for the past hundred years ( with notable exceptions) is welcome- not that the Pope decides such things in any meaningful way.>
"my kids would probably start dancing"
We all know what 'dancing' leads to!!!
Or is that only if you're Baptist?
