Not as bad considering some parishes’ refusal to use hymns written before 65. As for the communion hymn, why was that included? Talk about a clash….

I cringe as I ask this but… how exactly has OCP ‘inclusivized’ Where Charity and Love Prevail? Is another sublime hymn headed for the circular file?

Jenny: It was the basic procedure of substituting all masculine pronouns with “God” or “God’s”.

Worse than gender-neutral, which is bad enough! I was cantoring “Where Charity and Love Prevail” two weeks ago and, before I realized it, we got into verse 6 which essentially says that silly things like “creed” don’t matter. I was aghast, but we were in the midst of the verse before I realized what we were singing. Obviously, 60’s crap added onto what is otherwise a good, straightforward hymn. I crossed out that verse, so I hope I will never make that mistake again in the future!

Adding subversive verses to old hymns is even more theologically dangerous than using Haugen/Haas trash hymns because the old hymns lull you into a sense of security. But I guess you have to read carefully through every verse beforehand. At least, you do if you use The Collegeville Hymnal.
