That said, we couldn't help noticing that our brother Schütz seems to have sent the whirling dervish of the aCatholic Sect into a huge spin this weekend - congrats David! "Who actually holds the keys to the kingdom" asks Brian before encapsulating his rant thus:
The essential question we are placing on the agenda is one directed to the bishops of Australia collectively as to how much oversight is given to a matter of this importance in terms of the overall health of the liturgical and worship life of the Church across this continent?Isn't it odd gentle pilgrim. For all their claims of an inclusive church aCatholics like Brian appear incapable of discerning a truly inclusive response to a contemporary challenge aimed at intervening in the overall health of the liturgical and worship life of the Church across the continent. The return to promoting plain chant, and the move away from Hill Song like offerings to rediscover the rich tradition which is truly sacred and 'liturgical' is neither rubrical nor a reflection of the Tridentine influence.
Rather it is an act of inclusion. It is a recognition that the first instrument available to the talented and less talented is indeed the voice and that to ensure our musical choices empower all whom comprise the mystical body to participate in song and not just the performers is very Spirit of Vatican II! It is an attempt to remedy an error!
Brian in our experience your sense of things generally sucks, after all you have been sensing all sorts of things about these curious corridors for the past five years and are yet to come anywhere close to the reality. If you seriously sense or Heaven forbid believe the textually and theologically weak and musically banal noise parishes have been subjected to for the past forty years could in any lexicon be referred to as "taste"... might we suggest you clean your cursed ears out!!

Don't fret, Mr Harding, very soon the whole church will belong to thee and thou kind. Enjoy. We are under no illusions as to which way things are heading with the Catholic Church.
Cheers,

Does Mr Coyne now use a Royal plural?
I suspect the Cloistered Ones - and I agree with them - would regard "the way things are heading with the Catholic Church" to be the work of the Holy Spirit.
I know it is an old-fashioned view, but it is much more Godly than reading your smug vituperations, Mr Coyne.
"Thou kind"? Surely not Mr Coyne. "Thy kind" is more like it! As an apparent devotee of 16th cedntury English, will we expect you to relocate to the Ordinariate after all. Come as you are, anti-convert bigotry and all.
Indeed Archdeacon! Trust in the Spirit!
Warden, Coyne and his bitter mob are truly delusional and suffer from a huge excess of pride and a corresponding lack of humility. This Catholica group hate the church and all it stands for but spend every waking moment thinking, speaking and writing about it. This has to be a proven case of insanity and / or severe depression. Why do they waste the wonderful life they have been given doing this? Seriously, the time has come for people to ignore them and this in turn would help them with their overblown ego and sense of self importance.
