This week I interviewed Dr. Peter Kwasniewski (https://www.peterkwasniewski.com/) about #sacred #music for Sunday mass and #Liturgy drawing from his new book Good Music, Sacred Music, and Silence. In light of the fact that a recent Pew survey ranked Catholic music as the worst of any denomination, I think we need to to be more willing to talk about why, especially in light of the fact that this wasn't always the case.
