About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Why was Gregorian Chant suppressed even though the Council commanded that it be used?
Because the Devil hates Latin and Gregorian chant. From the “Map Psalter” – England (1262-1300) Those who suppressed Latin and Gregorian chant were doing the work of the Enemy. They were willing or unwitting (maybe witless) agents.
