Have you ever heard it?  I think it sounds beautiful.  Latin, in general, also referred to as a Gregorian chant.  Some musicians I like who use it include Pink Floyd, Enigma, and some group I can't remember the name of but I have their music bouncing around in my head now.

Yes. I studied it extensively in a MA music history class. I can read Gregorian chant in its original notation. I have listened to multiple Medieval and Renaissance masses. I have performed in a number of masses such as Mozart, Britten, etc.

Thanks. I grew up in New Mexico where we visited many cathedrals and chapels from the time the area was controlled by Spain. Even the most humble adobe building had beautiful interiors. Same with my mission in Central America. I have good friends who are not at all happy with the changes that have been made. One I hope our church never does is replace the organ/keyboard with a "Praise Band." 

Hey Mr. Gui. Thanks. You are right. I was wrong in my assumption that you did not know what you were talking about. Polish National Church...not happy with Rome. Happier with Pope Wojtyla (Voy-tee-wa).

Sorry that my quote is not the one where Bernard cited documentation of 19th Century Polish schism from Rome. If one person says they wished I had the right quote that makes sense with my reply I will do it. But not tonight.

Thanks! Just to be clear, my father’s family was Roman Catholic, but in a Polish congregation in New Jersey. He was among the early founders, established the St Cecelia Choir there, was the first organist, the sexton, and  kindergarten teacher in the parish school.
