The Great Catholic Music Debate
August 9, 2015 By Bill Kassel
“Post-Vatican Folk” vs. “Reformist Retro”
The boomers may have some attachment to the post-Vatican folk -- how about those who are younger, those who didn't fall away from the church? Is that sort of sentimentalism combined with anything more substantial with respect to faith? And is the retention of post-Vatican folk necessary for efforts at keeping Catholics in the Church? Or should we be instead be praying for and encouraging gifted holy musicians to use the best of the old to create something worthy of expressing the propers of the Mass?
Could the Roman rite have adapted Appalachian music?
