Remembrance Day has always been an important day for both Bear and myself. For me it became even more so, when I met my Father-in-law, who served in WWII, and the whole Tommy Guns in the Chicken Coop story.
Normally Remembrance Day would be easy to decide what to do. It's usually on a Weekday and I generally, watch or tape the services. But this year it is on Sunday, and I thought it would be very effective for us and the girls to attend the Cenotaph Services in Ottawa,we would attend Mass on Saturday Evening.
But here is the fly in the ointment: Sunday, November 11 at the 12noon mass at Bear's Ordinary Mass Choir, there will be the Ordination to the Transitional Diaconate for a former altar boy, and choir master/organist of the parish; here's the kicker: the Archbishop himself will be celebrating.
Now anyone who has read this blog for any length of time knows of my attempts to get the pastor to follow the rules of the RS, and my failures to succeed, especially regarding his confecting the blood of Christ in a carafe.
I admit, the hope that The Archbishop corrects the pastor is very great. And the honour of having Bear sing at a Mass celebrated by an Archbishop is overwhelming- both of which might lead to the sin of pride with a heavy dollop of gloating. So maybe I should pray for the deacon -elect and avoid the sin of temptation all together.
I set up a poll in the sidebar.

Should the Music of Haugen, Haas and the St. Louis Jesuits be banned from Catholic Masses? Poll Results
The Poll is now closed. (There hasn't been any activity for awhile)
Responses: (the percentage and actual number of votes follows)
Let's get back to Latin chants- 31% - 11
Yes, most definitely- 28% - 10
Well, some yes- 9% - 3
No, the occasional one is Ok--23% - 8
No, they are the Traditional Catholic Hymns-9% - 3
I don't know who Haugen, Haas or the St. Louis Jesuits Are-3% --1
Total Votes 35 Precentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
In this case the percentages actually add up to 102%
58% want the total an complete removal of H, H, SLJ music removed from mass, of those half want a return to Chanting.
If we consider the number of people who want a portion of the music of H,H, SLJ music removed and have the some pieces or the occasional piece, the number jumps to 90%, suggesting that most want a severe decrease in the number of H, H, SLJ music they hear at mass, with two thirds of those wanting a complete and total removal of all pieces, and one third wanting chanting.
Only about one tenth (3) people thought that H, H, SLJ composed traditional Catholic music.
Almost every one who took part in the poll know who Haugen Haas, and the S.L.Jesuits are. With only 1 person claiming ignorance.

The Spirit's Sword (2) gets through the Great Firewall of China. "sniff, sniff"
Well, apparently the Spirit's Sword (2) is NOT worthy to be banned in China. What do I have to do to get banned in China?!
Check here to see if your blog is banned in China. Hope you are more successful than I.
