I love this Pope
Thursday August 31, 2006
Pope Benedict has cancelled the Vatican's Christmas pop concert. “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...

Rod,
Off topic, but you have asked previously about info on Muslims denouncing terrorism. Here's a story on that I found interesting.

It's funny to think of something that has been around for only 12 year as a "tradition".>
Time to crank up the Latin scholas at a bunch of parishes......in the spirit of Chesterton's saying: "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.">
What, something that pleases me, from this Pope?
Go figure.>
Squirley,
What's your problem with "this Pope?">
I don't know anything about it, but can't they do both. I'd go to the classical concert and enjoy it for a little classical music makes me sleepy, & the struggle between staying awake and listening and giving in to sleep becomes painful.
I'd really like the pop concert. I'd tap my feet and my kids would probably start dancing.>
Man, I really could have used an editor in the last post.>
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?
