💰 Are Church Musicians Paid Too Little?
I came very close to paying an unspeakably severe price.

Re: Singing in front of 580 people!

A large choir isn’t necessary to have dignified music at Mass.
A choir isn’t some sort of fancy “add-on.”
I don’t pretend to have an answer to this question.

May I tell you a secret?

There was deep division in Chicago between those who cheered for the Cubs and those who cheered for the White Sox.

Bishop Ambo’s assertion that Mass was attended—for centuries—by a single woman (and nobody else) is bizarre.

Some days, Fulton J. Sheen received as many as 30,000 letters.

Including several hymns eminently suitable for the feast of Christ the King.

Including a tip on preventing choirs from ‘sinking’ the pitch lower and lower.
If we truly believe what we say we believe, how can we allow goofy, off-Broadway, secular, casual music at Mass?

Authentic sacred music should attract people. It should not drive them away.

Don’t listen to excuses!
