. Check out his songs like “Transubstantiation” and “How Great is our God” on iTunes. He’s great.
I was wondering about him because of his lyrics. I love that song “How Great is our God”!Well, Chris Tomlin is. He’s the #1 Christian musician. So that’s pretty as much as you could ask for
Umm, being as he his helping to start a church, that is most definitely not Catholic, I’m pretty sure he isn’t Catholic. He does do a lot of good songs that are compatible with Catholic theology though.Well, Chris Tomlin is. He’s the #1 Christian musician. So that’s pretty as much as you could ask for
I did find one reference to Rachael Lampa being Catholic. I’m pretty sure that neither Rebecca St. James nor Jaci Velasquez, however, are Catholic. Rebecca’s website mentions finding a “Bible believing church” and asking Jesus into your life, things not generally associated with Catholics. And this article about Jaci says "Velasquez, whose mother was raised Catholic, describes herself as “nondenominational.” " So while she might possibly be technically Catholic, she most definitely doesn’t claim it.

Perhaps because most “pop” Christian musicians, Contemporary/Urban Gospel, Southern Gospel and CCM were able to find their voice in their home church without being told that their music and/or instruments was inappropriate for a Sunday service. Most have been active praise and worship leaders before we became aware of them through a recording or television appearence. The exception would be Seventh Day Adventist musicians who generally don’t play “popular music” in their home church, however many do hire out on Sundays to churches of other denominations.Why aren’t there more Catholic musicians who are generally popular?
Unfortunately most likely true. I’ve seen a lot of that attitude here at these boards. I’m sick of it. I’m also seeing the Church step backwards, away from freer expression in church. I don’t see the Church moving much in the spirit or giving the Holy Spirit much wiggle room.
Oh, sorry. I had heard from a brother who is a friend of mines that he was. He probably didn’t know Chris Tomlin well.
Maybe in the music section at a Christian book store. But Virgin, Target, Walmart nor Amazon are going to put music in the spiritual, Christian or religious section, what ever name they give it, to a doctrinal or theological test
A good part of it is good ole fashioned anti-catholic bigotry. Not so many years ago, evangelical folk musician Michael Card got a LOT of heated criticism from industry insiders for doing joint album projects with “papist” John Michael Talbot.Why aren’t there more Catholic musicians who are generally popular?
