..for the transcript of Cardinal Mahony’s online chat at the LA Religious Education Congress to be posted.<\/a><\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Here’s the transcript, with the questions being asked afresh from kids online. No relationship to the submitted questions. Which might be consistent with the past, for all I know.<\/a> Mostly immigration questions, it seems.<\/p>\n

That link will take you to a page with submitted questions. I’m sure there was a process for picking and choosing questions, and I sort of forgot to go online at the time yesterday to see how it all worked out. It’s curious that the transcript hasn’t been posted, however. It’s a simple thing to do: select all – copy – paste. You know.<\/p>\n

And there’s photos to enjoy from the liturgy from Youth Day. As per usual with these events, <\/a>but the question remains steady this year, as it has every year…what exactly is the point of liturgical rubrics, anyway?<\/a><\/p>\n

And man, I have just about had it with young women standing with their hands-free mikes wrapped around their heads, in front of altars, leading us emotionally in song from center stage. Imagine the change in atmosphere, the instant sense of "attention must be paid" if, instead, a small group of sisters or monks processed in, set themselves up choir style, and led the kids in simple, repetitive chant. <\/p>\n

At the big huge youth event I attended this past summer in Atlanta, the only <\/em>music that got the "full active participation" of the majority of the youth in the arena during Mass was some Taize chant. Everything else is a curiosity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
