To top it all some prominent Media persons and attackers of the Church and fundamental Faith and Morals are actually "presenting" the various events - the worst amongst them is to present the big shobiz finale in a huge football stadium. I suffer to think of the abuses and irreverence for the Blesses Sacrament that will take place there. There are of course Orthodox speakers but the whole presentation shows a pervasive heterodoxy. This is down to the Bishops. Thankfully, there has been some authentic Catholic doctrine, liturgy etc at the "fringe festival" which one could safely attend without being scandalised.

My mother attended the 1932 Congress with an English Diocesan group. I still have her Congress Hymnbook. Adoro te devote, Lauda Sion, Missa de Angelis, Veni creator etc. Obviously the people were expected to join in. The Lauda Sion was not Plainsong but the Lourdes setting - some music from Lourdes was included at last Sunday's Mass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
