But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so.

Wagner was to my mind the greatest composer.

Thank you! I think I can go one better, though:
It's not Bayreuth, but it's still extremely good. Voelker in particular. The old productions have a certain vigour the modern ones lack - what Cosima Wagner called 'the sacred German tradition' was still in full display, not the visually gutted and Modernist productions with no heroic dignity in any of the characters or sets we see today.

It's comparing this:

To this:
No image as graphic and thoroughly immodest. It does show you how far even Bayreuth has gone.

The "promise to respect" as Church law the New Code of Canon Law is to respect a number of supposed laws directly contrary to Church doctrine.

GMA and PatrickG, sorry to break up the Wagnerfest with ol' Purcell!

But here - this is, I think, the best Liebestod ever recorded:

When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.
