Back from vacation - and still getting caught up with work ( having a job soooo gets in the way of important things!!). At mass this past Sunday, we sang "Faith of our Fathers" - with the *new* and *improved* 3rd verse that begins "Our mothers too...". Oh, please. Naturally, I didn't sing that one, since it's such a crass political insert. Maybe I'll live long enough to see all the liberal "inclusive" verses removed, but somehow I doubt it.
But I guess it could be worse, it could be a "hymnal" from OCP, and I'd have to put up with this kind of stuff weekly instead of occasionally...

"One bread, one body, one stupid hymn. . . . "
"Gather us in, the bored and the nauseous. . . . "
Amen, John. Amen, indeed. Oh, wait, I shouldn't say "aMEN", I should say, um, "Aperson".
Wouldn't that be "Apeople?"
I think it would be "Apersyn", after all "son" is a male word! :P
(I really like those songs, tho'...)
God Bless!
Faith of Our Fathers was our opening hymn this weekend past as well.
The Muzak Issue missed a good verse - the one that starts "Our fathers, chained in prisons dark..." I could have used it, especially with my pastor's homily.

I really can't stand that song anyway. I'd just rather not hear any verse of it. I just find the tone quite boring and monotonous.
I wonder how many good Baptists who sing this song so well know it was written by a Catholic Priest. Father Frederick William Faber, Cong. Orat. was a contemporary of John Henry Cardinal Newman.
How awful! I've never heard that version - thank God. Our choir sang the hymn, too, and I'm sure if they had of heard that insipid nonsense, they would have incorporated it into their lyrics.
Great stuff. I added your cartoon to my blog.
Thanks for adding me on, Mr. Defund..
