I'm just saying I wouldn't worry excessively about this document. Where can it be found by the way? I might be able to comment on it more intelligently if I had a source.

At the Eighth International Church Music Congress in Rome in 1986, for example, Ratzinger blasted rock music as a “vehicle of anti-religion”. He said rock and roll is a secular variant of an age-old ecstatic religion, in which man “lowers the barriers of individuality and personality” to “liberate himself from the burden of consciousness”. Rock is thus “the complete antithesis of Christian faith in the redemption”.

this is all I can find- and this list came out in '96 but I cannot find what the context of it was...

oh well i can't find anything else on this...

there must be some balance we can find like what ave was mentioning with U2...

This sort of discussion is not unique to the Catholic Church

On the local Baptist (for lack of a specific denomination) radio station this evening, the speaker was Dan Lucarini, author of Why I Left the Contempory Christian Music Movement.

Website blurb:
Dan was swept into the CCM movement that infiltrated so many churches in the late 80's and early 90's. As a former secular rock musician, he had the skills to be good at making a band play cohesively. But did that have anything to do with worship? He set out on a study of worship in the Bible and was stunned to learn the truth. Tune in to BBN's Conference Pulpit this evening [Wednesday] at 9:00 eastern to hear the testimony of Dan Lucarini, author of the book Why I Left The Contemporary Christian Music Movement.



I think the program will be available at their website for a week.
