Another pub(l)ic spectacle from the New Pantagruel

Make this Man a Cardinal

August 29, 2006

George Weigel, for this alone, should be given a red hat and charge over this redemptive institution he has proposed: the Index Canticorum Prohibitorum. Anyone caught inflicting the vile strains on the list would be subjected to the bastinado. In response, Fr. Fox is compiling a list of the best hymns, and there are some fine suggestions at Pontifications as well, after a rash of wholly nugatory commenters, one of whom thinks “Amazing Grace” is too “Protestant” because of its reference to “the hour I first believed.” Let’s not get carried away, eh?
