The professionalising of #music in church is sometimes regarded with suspicion by clerics and laypeople dedicated to the “modernising” and “democratisation” of religious idea and practice, nervous of the alienating resonances of old-fashioned, hierarchical “elitism”. The churches went through their 1960s revolutions too, and in some things these were necessary and liberating. The musical fallout from these has been problematic, though, especially to those involved in maintaining high standards.

This #book is a must read for any Christian who wants to know about #Islam, what Islam teaches about Christians, and the reasons why "dialogue" is not just futile, but dangerous. Many of the myths about Islam are based on an improper knowledge of its doctrines and beliefs. Mr. Solimeo provides a concise explanation by citing the Koran and Islamic authors. He also looks at the history of Islam and its internal contradictions.

This book spotlights many reasons why "dialogue" with Islam will not work.

Number Going to Hell

"Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved."
-Saint Jerome, Father and Doctor of the Church

"The number of the elect is so small — so small — that, were we to know how small it is, we would faint away with grief: one here and there, scattered up and down the world!”
-Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

"So vast a number of miserable souls perish, and so comparatively few are saved!"
–Saint Philip Neri, mystic

“The greater number of Christians today are damned. The destiny of those dying on one day is that very few – not as many as ten – went straight to Heaven; many remained in Purgatory; and those cast into Hell were as numerous as snowflakes in mid-winter.”
-Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, mystic

“Among adults there are few saved because of sins of the flesh. […] With the exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned.”
-Saint Remigius of Rheims

"Yet, as I immediately noticed, Fr. Vianney himself is quick to judge. Need an example? I personally went to a wedding on the weekend. Let’s just say I had a good time. Good food, dance, drinks… Apparently, according to “the saint,” I’m running towards hell…"

For 2,000 years, Catholic women have veiled themselves before entering a church or any time they are in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament (e.g., during sick calls). It was written into the 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 1262, that women must cover their heads -- "especially when they approach the holy table" ("mulieres autem, capite cooperto et modeste vestitae, maxime cum ad mensam Dominicam accedunt") -- but during the Second Vatican Council, Bugnini (a Freemason) was asked by journalists if women would still have to cover their heads. His reply, perhaps innocently enough, was that the issue was not being discussed. The journalists took his answer as a "no," and printed their misinformation in newspapers all over the world. Since then, many Catholic women have lost the tradition.

By Fr. Fromageot [FSSP]

"The religion born of faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God and the only Savior of humankind, is the only religion positively willed by God. The opinion is, therefore, wrong that says that just as God positively wills the diversity of the male and female sexes and the diversity of nations, so in the same way he also wills the diversity of religions."
