As the years go by and a newer generation of Catholics participate more actively in the ministry of the church Iíll try to bear my cross while weíre rapping the Our Father or listening to Christian hip hop during the Offertory since this is what the flock may prefer. I speak facetiously of course, but Iím not advocating a change in doctrine, or that we return to Latin, or the TLM, or that even Gregorian chant be sung. Nor am I suggesting the choir play my favorite tune each Sunday. But I do believe that music during Mass should be sacred and ideally distinctly Catholic. I think we lose our Catholic identity and traditions as we head down the slippery slope of appeasing the faithful by incorporating whatever latest fad exists into the Mass. The Mass isnít about us, itís about Christ. Itís not entertainment, itís a sacrifice. The music of the Mass should glorify God.
