If it took the useless USCCB half a century to "warn" us about these tacky theological embarrassments, --they might better have kept their dignity by continuing to ignore, not closing the rusty gate 50 years after the escaped horses of good taste are dead of old age. The USCCB were clueless to the aesthetic and creedal damage to 2 generations of young people, who no longer attend parishes where these cheap ditties are still perpetrated by & for aging hippy pastors & people . . . . .

It took about 50 years of really bad hymns, but I'm still impressed with this USCCB decision.
