I am sorry you hate, but no one forced you to post here. Also, with regards to the music, the contemporary stuff needs to go, why else do we have hymanls, yet we pay no heed to them least of all Life Teen “messes”
Now those are sentiments I can fully agree with!
At one time, all music was new. If “contemporary stuff needs to go” was the attitude the Church had held since the beginning, the Church would have never accepted novelties such as Gregorian chant and the music of Palestrina.
the charismatic aspect is not part of the LT program and has probably been introduced by adult leaders who have participated in the charismatic renewal. In my opinion it is a mistake to introduce the charismatic dimention to any youth group or program without full “initiation” by means of Life in the Spirit seminars, where there is a choice, and full explanation of what is going on and why.
this is a forum. on a forum people are invited to give their personal opinion. since none of us is the bishop or pope (unless we have not deciphered his screen name) that is the most any of us can give. the original question invited personal opinion. If they had been seeking a definitive judgement they would have gone to their bishop, not this forum. Poster is entirely in line offering personal experience with LT and we are grateful for the testimony.
What are you trying to say with the “ROBOT” statement? Are you inferring that orthodox Catholics are somehow less human? Why is it that those who appreciate the classical mass and the classical music are somehow lesser than those who push the envelope?
Not at all Roy. I love the classical Orthodox Mass and the deep worship and reverence. But I see many wanting to take the “Cookie-Cutter” approach to Catholicism and if there is one little thing that is not EXACTLY the way they were taught (right or wrong) they throw up the “Liturgical Abuse” flag and run around like Chicken Little (“the sky is falling, the sky is falling”).

Hebrews 2:4:
So you are saying the Holy Spirit distributes as Sean believes, because if you doubt it, it must note be real …
A SOLEMN CELEBRATION

WOW Sean. You know exactly how the Holy Spirit works. I’m so glad you clarified the verses:
So you are saying the Holy Spirit distributes as Sean believes, because if you doubt it, it must note be real …
Which of the following definitions of solemn is the one you are using?
And, which one is the source of the phrase solemn celebration using?
Excellent thought and one I think I never thought. Both may be valid movement, but mixing the two could be imprudent.
I think you should quote your source, because my source speaks nothing of Gregorian Chant coming from pagans! It in fact originated frm Gregory the Great! If you want to really have a concise and true undesrrstanding of where Gregorian Chant came form here is a link

I followed your link and it was far from conclusive. I looked around and found some predates St. Gregory, including some written by St Ambrose in the 4th century. Certainly St. Gregory had something to do with it, but other sources may have, too.
The article at NewAdvent.org says the following:
The article indicates that Gregory the great compiled and put together the final arrangement of those chants. This would indicate that he was not their author but merely the one who collected them and put them into greater use. The article does not in fact address the origin of the chants but how they came to be called Gregorian chants.
