At my catholic center some of my friends were in the adoration chapel goofing off and singing secular songs like frozen. I pulled one of my friends aside and told her that what they were doing was probably a form of blasphemy since it’s doing something profane in a sacred place. But I was wondering if the catechism or any encyclicals says anything on treatment and behavior in chapels.

Glad you know what should and should not be done in the presence of Jesus, but what would Jesus do?

When people were corrupting the temple he rebuked them and chased them around with a whip lol but idk if that’d go over well with the rest of the people at the catholic center lol 😂
 
CCC 1378 says,
1378 Worship of the Eucharist. In the liturgy of the Mass we express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine by, among other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration of the Lord. “The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving the consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the solemn veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession.”

Note that it says solemn veneration.
This means when you are in the Adoration chapel, you behave respectfully and venerate Jesus, and do not goof off and sing secular songs.

You did the right thing to correct your friend. Mature people behave with respect in Adoration chapels and in any other place of worship. If someone is going to goof off with their friends in there then they really should not be in there.

Jesus would say, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”

Then he would feel sad at how people don’t value his sacrifice for them, just like he did in the Garden or getting mocked by the soldiers or hanging on the Cross, and just like it is described in many meditations on Christ’s Passion and on Eucharistic Adoration.

And then we would try to console his heart.

Jesus would be consoled by one person telling his friends, “Hey, that isn’t proper respectful behavior. Please stop.”

Singing songs from Frozen in itself isn’t bad, but doing it in the adoration chapel is disrespectful and wrong. You did the right thing by correcting your friends. 🙂

It’s possible to have secular concerts, for instance, inside church buildings. (Usually, prior to the event, the Eucharist is removed from the Tabernacle and replaced afterward.)
 
Had a random thought (first I must disclose, I am one of the 7 humans on earth who has never seen even 5 seconds of “Frozen” so I could be way wrong). There have been countless times in my life when a secular song strikes a very powerful spiritual chord in me. There are so many secular songs that have become part of Christian music “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, “One Tin Soldier”, I am showing my age 😉

Is it possible that your friends find these songs speak to them at a deeper level than “Disney children’s cartoon”?
 
re; Frozen… I’m also one of the 7. I’ve walked through the room when it was on at a relatives house. I stopped and looked at the tv, and the girl on the tv was sassing and sounding rude. I was surprised, and kept walking through the room as I was.

So I guess I saw about 3 seconds of it. That was enough for me.
