Promoting CATHOLIC Rock

[colliric]

Also the Pope wrote something about this:
“Rock” [music]. . . is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. People are, so to speak, released from themselves by the experience of being part of a crowd and by the emotional shock of rhythm, noise, and special lighting effects. However, in the ecstasy of having all their defenses torn down, the participants sink, as it were, beneath the elemental force of the universe."

Although that might just have been regarding liturgical music.

I think this statement of the Pope is right, and not just about Rock Music. Replace “Rock Music” with “Sport” or “Movies”(not just of the violent sort!) and read it again… This is about the nature of distracting enterprises in general. They all in some way distract us from God.
