the latest tradition

By ( articles ) | Nov 18, 2006

Jeffrey Tucker apparently caught it first, and posted it on the New Liturgical Movement blog. It's a priceless quote from a student newspaper-- at a Catholic school:

The Gregorian Schola, which sings the music for the Gregorian chant Mass in the Jesuit House Chapel, provides a refreshing break from the traditional Catholic Mass.

So Gregorian chant is a nice break from "tradition"-- a word which, to today's college-age Catholic, brings to mind Marty Haugen and the St. Louis Jesuits.

Confusing? Yes. But the bottom line is that those crazy, radical kids want chant.
