@jimr Well if we're going to get technical, Liturgies without any instrumentation are the real apostolic practice (the way Eastern and Oriental Catholic Churches have always maintained).

I have a real soft spot for the Franciscans. We are a community who has embraced Pope Francis and his Franciscan mission so joyfully. Isn't Pope Francis a Jesuit? Yes, he's a Jesuit but took on the name and charism of Francis as the theme of his papacy.

Pope Francis is a Jesuit, but embraces the spirituality of St Francis.

@jimr Well if we're going to get technical, Liturgies without any instrumentation are the real apostolic practice (the way Eastern and Oriental Catholic Churches have always maintained). But it's their preference and not necessarily a tradition throughout the Church. Early Christians sang Jewish hymns at liturgical celebrations. The Psalms reference tambourines and lutes(the early guitar). Either way, there is nothing wrong with having guitars or any instrument for the celebration of the Mass providing it's done well. I like John Michael Talbot and his hymns are very contemplative, especially "Holy Is His Name."

@jimr Well for the East it's definitely a tradition (small t). I don't think the problem stems from introducing instruments into the Liturgy. I think it has far more to do with the quality (or lack thereof) of said music.
