It seems to be coming clearer that I am going to have to quit playing for the Protestant services. I had no idea when this argument began a couple months ago that I was doing anything wrong. I’ve played for them for 9 years.
Nine years you have played for this congregation, have sat through their services, listened to the preaching, played music for them, gotten to know the members of the congregation, the pastor, etc., and you remain solidly Catholic. You know yourself better than anyone on these forums, and better than your friend. Why would you let others try to form your conscience? You seem to have a grip on things, and this is, after all, a job. You aren’t working in an immoral atmosphere, you are playing music for people to praise God, and it doesn’t seem to have done your soul any harm, has it?
I spend my entire day among Protestants, Catholics, non-practicing Catholics, Muslims, agnostics, athiests, people having affairs, people living in sin, those who practice homosexuality, you name it, and hear all kinds of things against my faith and morals, does this mean I am betraying my faith or that I should quit my job? Think about it, and then tell your friend to quit his job, because he most likely is working in a more spiritually dangerous situation than yours, unless he’s working in a convent or monastary or something. That is my 2 cents, for what it is worth.
