The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and My Little Pony

Jeff Ostrowski of Corpus Christi Watershed not long ago published this in one of his posts ...

COMPOSER DAN SCHUTTE, formerly a Jesuit priest, published a musical setting in 2012 of the Glory To God which has been widely criticized because it changes the words.
To me, however, something else is even more problematic. Please listen to these brief excerpts and see if you can guess what I’m getting at:
Am I crazy, or is this resemblance jarring?

 Readers, click on the two links.  GLORY TO GOD IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE MY LITTLE PONY THEME, ONLY WORSE!



Jeff goes on to say, "I have absolutely nothing against Schutte, who is incredibly accomplished and literally world-famous."

Well, I have quite a lot against Dan Schutte.  Anyone who would write a setting of the Gloria that is indistinguishable from the "My Little Pony Theme" is not a man I'd introduce to other adults, much less a man whose music I would sing.  Nor should the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass be blasphemed by the music of this "former Jesuit priest".

When the most important activity in our lives is dumbed down to "My Little Pony" - "dumbed down" to a point that makes you want to "throw up" - then it's no wonder men and young people and normal human beings are leaving the Church in droves.

The Full Story on Bishop Finn

" Let's step outside and settle this thing like men ," she said, and she was a lady. " You're spewing anti-Catholic rhetoric !" he insisted. "How can you criticize a bishop when you're an actor and everyone knows actors are perverts and nitwits ," she screamed. (That last gal had a point). These are all reactions to my post last week about Rod Dreher's article on Bishop Finn's Indictment. And above all, people are charging me with believing the biased media coverage of the scandal. This, at least, is not true. In fact, everything I say in this post will be taken not from a media account of the scandal , but from the independent report on it as commissioned by the diocese , the Graves Report, which you can read on your own here . So let's shove the media aside and see for ourselves what's contained in this internal diocesan report conducted by an independent firm. *** Fr. Shawn Ratigan was a priest of the diocese of Kansas Cit...

What Follows ...

At one point I took all of these posts down, because I felt I had been far too willingly brainwashed into a religious system that was doing more harm than good.   But, lately, I decided to republish some of the more interesting posts.  What follows is about ten percent of what I posted from 2007 to 2021.  They are in an odd chronological order, becuase Blogger is a clunky. Meanwhile, you can find my more sane (and more recent) musings here -  https://theateroftheword.substack.com .

Charlie Johnston's Followers take the Next Wrong Step

NOTE - On April 29, 2106, Charlie Johnston responded to this post and my previous one with outright lies, doing his best to libel me in the process. I go into detail about that here - Charlie Johnston Lies about Me - and I Admire Him for It! Charlie is one of the most outrageous frauds in the Catholic Church. He actually fascinates me - in a sad way. Read on ... Charlie Johnston is a false prophet. His archbishop has "strongly" advised Catholics to be cautious of him.  His archbishop has also banned him from speaking in his own archdiocese. Charlie, in the great tradition of false prophets, has spun this warning to his own advantage , and Charlie's True Believers have rallied around him and have been guzzling the Kool-Aid since the bishop's letter and Charlie's spin appeared earlier this week. I posted about Charlie Johnston last fall , detailing at least one of his prophecies that have proven false, and detailing, from evidence on his Faceb...
