An island of questions in a sea of confusion.Tuesday, December 20, 2005
Why do Protestant churches have something against singing Christmas carols in Latin? Why do they have a block against singing about the Virgin Mary? Isn't Mary considered to be Biblical? And if you buy into the story, wouldn't the mother of God have to be at least extraordinary? And if you don't understand the words in Latin, so what? Do you understand the words in instrumental music? Doesn't Latin, as a language, have a certain music other languages don't? Can't songs be sung in their original languages for their original musicality?
