Wouldn't it have been far more appropriate to have a prelude of Gregorian Chant and Polyphony? It would really set the tone for the Holy Sacrifice as well as bring calm and peace and transcendence to the public ceremony.

What the fuss! Why is Matt Maher not in this group? He is a very popular, very catholic Contemporary Christian musician.

Par for the course Cardinal "Bravo"... The Faithful should avoid this entire spectacle for its grave evil: conflating entertainment with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
