... Between Medieval And Folk, Two Mass Audiences.
The fact is, most contemporary Catholic hymns are crap. Owen Alstott's psalm settings are execrable. Sunday Mass at my parish is a travesty, an insipid concoction devised by musically illiterate ignoramuses. And we won't even go into the incorrectly translated Latin.
The Thomas Day quoted in the piece linked to is a former classmate of mine. Says he's 65. But he was that when I knew him. He's right, though. Plain, simple - and don't forget the silence.
