Pentecost Sunday

Due to work commitment elsewhere, yours truly will not be able to sing at the chapel for Pentecost Sunday. However, besides the propers I have suggested the following hymns to be sung:

  1. Procession: Come Holy Ghost, Creator Blest
  2. Kyrie II
  3. Gloria II
  4. Credo III
  5. Sanctus II
  6. Agnus Dei II
  7. Communion hymn: Panis Angelicus
  8. Recession: O God Almighty Father

Steubenville

Liturgical and music anarchy are still very much alive and well, even amidst all the talk about "reform of the reform", new ICEL translation, Sacramentum Caritatis, Redemptionis Sacramentum, Motu Proprio, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Behold the Holy Week liturgy at neo-con charismatic heaven Franciscan University of Steubenville (FUS), where popular Novus Ordo celebrity Scott Hahn currently lectures at. And oh dear, the Wikipedia entry for Scott Hahn even calls FUS "a major center of conservative Catholic thought in the United States"! I shudder to think what they would consider as liberal centers of Catholic thought.

Compare this to another scenario also in the United States. No prizes for guessing, but which would you consider as a better candidate to be "a major center of conservative Catholic thought in the United States"? :)
