There's One Less Reason to Become Catholic
September 6, 2010
As noted the other day, I have for years argued that you need reasons not to be Catholic. Prime among them for me would be justification by grace through faith and repudiation of papal authority. Arguments in favour of Rome, on the other hand, would include a disregard for being trendy for the sake of it, a certain aesthetic dignity, and better music -- that is, until now...... According to the UK Independent's report on the Holy Father, he's going hip-hop for his UK tour later this month. I don't think I've ever listened to contemporary Christian music and thought `Praise God I'm still an evangelical!' but I have to say this track provoked precisely this response. As the singer says `Feel the love, y'all?' No. Sorry. Not quite.
