"Nothing is more miserable than those people who never failed to attack their own salvation. When there was need to observe the Law, they trampled it under foot. Now that the Law has ceased to bind, they obstinately strive to observe it. What could be more pitiable that those who provoke God not only by transgressing the Law but also by keeping it? 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. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father". Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?"  St. John Chrysostom  Sunday Homily

"The two goals of the Jews: The universal domination of the world and the destruction of Catholicism, out of hatred for Christ" --Mgr. Jouin

Wagner was to my mind the greatest composer.

You are a connoisseur.

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.

Quote from: Bishop WilliamsonThe "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:
