The unholy Triad

That one site is very funny, espally about the Church and Marty haugens bong

golly, who brought this back up?

Since my original posting, I have heard Rory Cooney's delightful rendition of Bread of Life. Here's a sample: I myself am the Bread of Life. You and I are the Bread of Life. Broken and shared, taken and blessed by God. So that all might live.

I have stopped singing in Church because of these songs.

This is hilarious:

Though the Mountains May Fall (after Carey Landry)

REFRAIN

Though the mountains may fall, and the hills turn to dust,
We will never get rid of this song.
Like a big ball of wax, it will stick in our ears,
Drowning out other tunes that belong.

VERSE ONE

Long beloved by Pastorals,
In the 60s they are trapped.
Though a mother forsakes her child,
Who will dare disown this carp?

VERSE TWO

Could you please play some silence?
Give the microphones away?
Won't you stop moving to and fro,
What if someone wants to pray?

VERSE THREE

Let's all clap with the Father,
For he's just like you and me.
Once he lived for the Roman rite,
Now he lives for Community.

One church here changes the words in the Bible when they aren't PC...

EDIT: In fact, I think they changed the words for the passion of Christ readings because Christ definately was not a man. Another Church i went to changed the words of the Nicene Creed: "he came down from heaven and became FLESH," therefore embracing a sort of Monophysitism.

I'm a member of that group too! Glad to know there are some fellow PMers who are members! Now I don't feel quite so alone!

Last Sunday we had Schutte twice, and of course Haugen, but just to spice things up a little Haas and Henry Alford too.

[quote name='toledo_jesus' date='Feb 2 2005, 11:27 AM']There are more than these three who are churning out bad "liturgical" music.  Here is something for us to visit...

Yep. I am actually a member....look for my name.....it is there.

Incidentally it is Joncas, Haugan, and Haas. I have the dubious distinction of knowing them all. They attended my alma mater and we are all alum's of the UST Liturgical Choir.

Fr. Joncas is ok as a Theology teacher, but Marty Haugan and David Haas....oy vey.

David Haas is one of the most arrogant human beings I have ever met. That is not an exaggeration.

Marty, is a Lutheran who became Catholic, who went to seminary, who quit seminary, who became a Lutheran again....go figure.

[photosynthesis]

yeah, I dislike all those 60's-inspired feel-good songs.... maybe I'll put my name on the list.

Except I *do* like "Shepherd Me, O God" That's a good song.

who wrote "Gift of Finest Wheat?" I really don't like that song for some reason.

[Aloysius]

I absolutely LOVE this Gather Us In. If it wouldn't be terribly disruptful I'd be very tempted to sing it next time Gather Us In was being done

Gather Us In

Here in this place, a bad song is starting,
Now will the altar turn into a stage.
All that is holy is slowly departing,
Making a way for the coming New Age.

Gather us in, though we are like captives.
But to miss Mass on Sunday, that would be wrong.
But Lord hear our plea, regarding M. Haugen:
Give him the courage to put down that bong.

Dear Father Smith make a beeline procession,
Run if you have to, make it real terse.
If you can start this Mass very quickly,
Maybe we'll only have to sing but one verse.

O Dear Lord Jesus, You are the Savior
We've promised to follow, whatever the cost.
But we didn't know this song had been written:
Would you terribly mind if we came off our cross?

what about john michael talbot's folk songs -- his playing the guitar drives me insane...

Yeah, that's what they do at my Church also. They sang the Gospel of Good Friday last time, and the woman singing the part of the narrator said, instead of singing, "and they saw that He was dead" sang "and they saw that [i]IT[/i] was dead".

The old choir that used to sing the 10:30 Mass at my church used to sing "City of God" and "I am the Bread of Life" every single week. I got so sick of it, and that was back when I used to like Haugen and Haas' music.

I wish more Churches would use the Adoremus Hymnal instead of the OCP one.
