Often we pick hymns for Mass that have easy to sing melodies. Some of these are far better than the contemporary drivel we get from Catholic publishing houses, but still we need to be aware of the lyrics and if the theology contained in these are suitable for Catholic identity. ![]() We've also imported Protestant hymns into the Mass. But when it comes to music at Mass in the last 40 years, Catholic identity has been thrown out the window with vapid songs like "Leaping the Mountains," "The Father Will Dance" and "On Eagle's Wings." I'm sorry if any of these are your favorites. The primary place that we experience our Catholic identity is at Mass. Throughout my 30 years of priesthood, I've tried to connect people with our Catholic identity.
