popestpiusx Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 The processional hymn for the Young Adults Liturgy at the recent L.A. Religious Education Conference showcased David Haas's catchy new "Gathering Song" (see pp. 44-45 of the program). A sampler: Come all you single ones, divorced and married: Come you who have lost your spouse, all who are lonely. With Christ our brother, we are loved and made whole! Refrain: All is ready. Here and now. All are welcome here. Come all you young and old, all male and female. Come, now, all gay and straight, it does not matter. With Christ, all people are one in God's whole! Refrain: All is ready. Here and now. All are welcome here. It pains me inexpressibly to report that Haas's litany extends no welcome to hermaphrodites, cellists, gluten-intolerant Latvians, Scorpios, Jesuits, self-employed taxpayers filing jointly, redheads, or Catholics. Must we be so quick to EXCLUDE? [url="http://www.cwnews.com/offtherecord/offtherecord.cfm?task=singledisplay&recnum=2537"]http://www.cwnews.com/offtherecord/offther...lay&recnum=2537[/url]

MC Just Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 :shootme: Ah more carp for me to add to my lyrical Crusade. Thanks for Posting this. To me there is nothing worse than these kind of Catholics. I use to hold a grudge against protestant, that grudge has shifted over to the liberal catholics. Absolutely sickening.

Spiritual_Arsonist Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Wow... I cannot believe it... I just threw up. Hmmm. Wonder why.
ForHimAlone Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Wow, and I was going to go to a music ministry camp with him this summer and possibly record a CD. Thank God I can't make that week. Wow, this is really disheartening...
StPiusVPrayForUs Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Cardinal Mahoney should br relieved of his duties, as were most bishops following the French revolution.
popestpiusx Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Yes, it's real, but not surprising. He's in bed with all the puff and fluff 'writers' like Marty Haugen and Dan Schutte.
MichaelFilo Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I'd say it's worthy of axceptance if you just considered the message, but there are two giganctic flaws. There are no divorced Christians, no matter how much they want to admit it. They are all adulterers who are unrepentant. Anyone who defines himself by his sins is a fool and cannot accept God's forgivness for he has made himself one with the sin. That is a blasphemy against the Spirit. Aside from that, the whole thing isn't set witht eh air of love that Catholic hymns should express, but in secular acceptance, which is the pre-packaged synthetic love that is touchy to the shallow consumer. It lacks love, but is abundant in false imitation. I'd burn the guy at the stake if I say him and continued to write this stuff, of course only after I tried to explain to him why these songs of his are wrong and he doesn'ta dmit it... God bless, Mikey

popestpiusx Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Cmom, I am quite certain that he is referring to those who have divorced and re-married. If one is divorced but living celibate, they are merely separated in the eyes of God and His Church. Those who have received an annulment and re-married were, so long as the facts of the case were presented accurately and the tribunal actually investigated them, never married in the first place and are therefore not adulterers. They are not even divorced, except according to the civil courts. So strictly speaking, Michael is right. Christians don't divorce. It's nearly impossible. Only two cases, the Pauline and Petrine privledge, can a marriage be dissolved. Apart from those exceptionally rare cases, if the marriage ever was, it must always be.
kateri05 Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 ahhh the LA RE Congress... solution? don't go to liturgies when you KNOW you'll be offended! that was my solution!
