I guess everybody knows my stance on the RCC and its teachings,
but for some reason I LOVE its music, even when the lyrics contain false doctrine.

Anyone else got this 'problem?' :eek:

Why is there such a thing as "Catholic" music?

I've never heard of such a division in Christianity where certain beliefs need to have their own music.

I'm divided on Samuel Barber and whether or not any of his music could ever be considered Christian. More like a deeply troubled man mired in sin who was begging God to have mercy on him. So in that regard, quite Christian. I wish he had issued more doctrinal statements about himself.

It's a confusing conundrum.

But I'm assuming you are referring to the people performing the piece, not necessarily the piece itself.

Some doctrinal differences are great enough between denominations that one just has to choose. Depending on the denomination some of the doctrine is even unbiblical.

But as for musical style, it either would refer to doctrinal influence over the lyrics, or possibly to the style of music itself. For example, the Catholics are the only major denomination that regularly produce music in Latin (which I'll admit is actually quite beautiful when it is sang).

Even the hyms in a hymnal may reflect a denominational stance. Different denominations pick different hymns, or may forgo hymns altogether in favor of a more modern/contemporary style worship service.

No. Many years ago I began taking all of my problems and cramming them down deep in myself and pretending like they didn't exist. It became very crowded in there over the years but when a new problem comes along I just unscrew the cap and push all the existing problems down as hard as I can to make room to stuff the new in there too.

Interestingly, the last time I went to the doctor he said he heard a distinct ticking sound emanating from me. I wonder what that could mean? Whatever it is, maybe they'll make a song about it someday.
