Raised Catholic by Ed Stivender

What's it about and how is it?

I have this. It's a memoir, and it's pretty good. I should add it to my "Moving Sale."

No wonder you were so happy about those kindle publishers!

I am currently reading Fatima in Twilight by Mark Fellows. It's a pretty good read, though I already knew most of the history covered by the book.

I used to love that series. Maybe I should give it another read somewhere down the line. Any recommendations my good man?

[Maximilian]

Just about to read C S Lewis's Cosmic Trilogy again, which I first read last year.

Did you ever give us your thoughts on "That Hideous Strength"?

My friend loves it, so that is definitely on my to-read list. Be sure to tell us what you think.

I'm not very good at analysing and reviewing, so this was all I said then! I'll see what I can do this time though.

I've finished Kristin Lavransdatter now by the way. That was very good, what I could follow.

I've heard great things about that. I even read a little bit of it online. What do you think of his thesis? I think it has some merit myself, though I haven't read the book in it's entirety so I can't judge all his opinions on the subject of why singing has never really taken off in the United States.

I generally like it and agree.

It's varied, I think.  American Catholicism suffered by having the heavy irish influence, and that mixed with the Council, helped squash good Catholic singing. 

People also didn't see something as important or necessary for them.  And the postconciliar church has been trying to beat the laity to sing.

Couple that with craptastic hymns that cant be sung by a congregation, along with the OVERBEARING MICROPHONE SHOUTING AT YOU FOR AN HOUR, and it's not a wonder why most catholics dont sing.

Also, JFKs funeral being a paltry Low Mass, the should have been high point of American Catholicism, was no help at all.

You aren't implying the Irish can't sing, are you? Do you really want to go there?
