Papal Mass Music
What was up with the music at the papal Mass? I called my friend Sally in disbelief. "Sally, some of it sounds like we're in a nightclub or something." This was a PAPAL MASS!! At one point as the music changed I looked at the radio puzzled. I actually thought I must have lost the signal on the station. Surely this music is coming from another station. They would never have music like this at a papal Mass. But they DID!!! Even pieces that would have been acceptable were jazzed up in way that seemed totally inappropriate. I was flabbergasted. I will give the benefit of the doubt to the planners. Surely they thought it sounded good, but I must admit it occurred to me that there might have been an element of rebelliousness in their selections. I hope not. I was almost embarrassed. But then, I'm not a musician. Maybe I missed the point?

How funny - you looking at your radio!! I got a kick out of your comment on my post today - about your mom and the diving board - so funny - ACK!! Take care - see you soon - Kellan
I am so sorry to hear this. I wonder if it picked up a channel and you heard their music instead? I know it is sad. At our cathedral that happens because our mic system was changed to digital. Once in awhile it picks up a radio station and it is hard to hear the priest.
Thank you for visiting my site.
I think that "what was up with the music at the Papal Mass" is that the Mass was reflecting the incredible diversity of music used by the tens of millions of Catholics around the dioceses of the United States.
