Unwilling to Resist?

A Viennese monastery famous for its chart-topping chant album is also breaking records for vocations. What is the secret of its success? (via Cal Catholic Daily)

In the main photo there is apparently a female altar server, probably one of the visitors at the monastery for their "Youth Vigil." Was that really a pastorally necessary choice?

The last CD, Stabat Mater, was just released several months ago. I didn't know there was a special companion CD to "Chant" for Advent and Christmas.

Buy them here. (The "Missa Latina" CD has not been released yet.)

Helena Norberg-Hodge: The Economics of Happiness
As she analyzed the problem further, Norberg-Hodge realized that the basic problem was rooted in the fundamentals of Western economics. “What economics has become as a discipline is a really disgraceful set of myths that were essentially formulated at the time of slavery and colonialism,” she said. “One of the fundamentals that was set in stone was that it’s in everybody’s interests to specialize for export, instead of providing a range of things for their own region or their own people. These theories were put in place at the same time that very wealthy merchants and emerging industrialists were benefiting from turning entire diversified economies into monocultures that produced just cotton, gold or copper, as the whole world was sort of coming under this one umbrella from Europe.
The bolded part makes for a good sound bite, but is it a good history of the discipline? Or bad genealogy?

More on the new Heiligenkreuz CD

From FB:


Neue CD "CHANT - Amor et Passio"
Ab 04.November im Handel!
Nach dem großen Erfolg der CD "Chant - Music for Paradise" waren wir erschöpft. Zugleich haben wir gesehen, wieviele Menschen sich über die geistlichen Gesänge freuen. Jetzt sind wir wieder soweit. Es macht uns sogar große Freude: Wir Mönche werden demnächst eine 2. CD mit unserem Gregorianischen Choral aufnehmen, sie wird den Titel tragen: "Chant - Amor et Passio". Es geht darin um die Liebe und die Leidenschaft Gottes.
