IT'S ALL CAPS DAY ON CATHOLIC LIGHT! ALL CAPS, ALL DAY!
I WENT TO A ROCKIN' MASS ON ALL SAINTS DAY AT MY CHURCH. THERE WERE FOUR GUITARS, AN ELECTRIC BASS, A MANDOLIN, A FLUTE, A SHAKER, A HEADLESS TAMBOURINE, AND A GAGGLE OF TIGHT-THROATED SINGERS. OH, THERE WAS A PRIEST AND TWO ALTAR BOYS AND A LECTOR AND A CONGREGATION. I NEARLY FORGOT WHERE I WAS SINCE THE "ENSEMBLE" WAS JAMMING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TIME THAT THE PRIEST WAS READY TO PROCESS IN. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN IN THEIR GARAGE. I AM GOING TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE LITURGY DIRECTOR. I THINK I WILL WRITE IT IN ALL CAPS SO I LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE LUNATIC.
BUT SERIOUSLY, PILGRIMS, RELATIVE SILENCE BEFORE MASS IS APPROPRIATE, EVEN REQUIRED FOR THE FAITHFUL TO PREPARE. LISTENING TO CROSBY, STILLS, NASH, HAUGEN, AND HAAS NOODLE ON THEIR AXES DOES NOT HELP ONE COMPORT HIMSELF FOR MASS.
PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS IN ALL CAPS. THX!
