“Sing to the Lord” – an out-of-context citation?

August 4, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

When the USCCB document Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship (SttL) was released almost two years ago, I did a quick once-over of it, and seeing that it more or less harmonized with the Vatican II Constitution on the Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium (SSC) and the 1967 Instruction Musicam Sacram (MS), I paid it [...]

In other words, [...]

An excerpt (my emphasis in boldface): We add “other things being equal” as a means [...]
