As a Catholic association in contemporary society, we go the extra mile to express radical, or rooted and balanced obedience to the Pope and bishops who act as the magisterium of the church. We avoid extremes of disobedience, either subtle or blatant, or fanatical obedience that is overly zealous, self-righteous, and often judgmental, with unbalanced or excessive emphasis on a particular aspect of genuine radicalism. Both extremes cause unhealthy personal spirituality and breed factions and division within the church. The primary purpose of this association is to provide religious, artistic, and professional support to Catholic musicians and their respective support organizations. We do so through conferences, shared newsletters, and personal relationship.
Conferences occur on general, regional and local levels.
The General Conference is the primary gathering of the Association. We use the music of a culture to reach a culture as long as it is consistent with gospel values and the teaching of the church. When it conflicts with those values and teachings, we adopt a counter-cultural approach. As Catholics we seek an approach that is truly universal to all cultures and times, so it is also trans-cultural. We recognize both entertainment and ministry qualities in music.
