**What is one to think of Praise & Worship (i.e. contemporary Christian) music played at masses? **
I find this practice bothersome. It seems as if this music has no place in the liturgy or Catholic Tradition, yet many parishes have adopted this style of worship.
Where I am from in particular, the leader of the group singing for mass is referred to as “Worship leader” who “leads the people in worship”. I think this type of decription should be only used for the Priest.
They also conduct worship services in the Church where they clap hands in the pews and sing contemporary Christian music while intermittenly “speaking in tongues”. I don’t really view this as “worship” per se. The tabernacle during this time seemed totally oblivious to the people singing and clapping. It comes off as more of entertainment for those people invovled.
