I had a giggle when I read this from the Culture Vulture section of the Guardian –

And for once, the Pope’s relentless anti-populism may prove popular, at least with the chattering classes, for there are few spectacles more unseemly than the kumbyah brigade’s sickly strumming.

The occasion of a concert in the Sistine chapel was chosen by the Pope to speak out. “It is possible to modernise holy music,” he conceded, “but it should not happen outside the traditional path of Gregorian chants or sacred polyphonic choral music”.

So the appeal doesn’t just seem to require the dusting off of hymnals, but rather seeks a restoration of the chantry in its place. After all, why turn the clock back a mere 50 years when you can go for a round 500?

And since his concerns could prove hard to enforce, maybe the Holy Father should help himself to another aspect of the church’s discarded heritage, the Inquisition. What better way of clamping down on sacred cacophony than deploying battalions of Paul Bettany look-a-likes to spring unsuspected on the throngs of happy clappers?

Hopefully for the safety of the PB look-a-likes none of the happy clappers are crazed fans.

Not very it seems. At least my major sins rhyme.
