There are recommendations floating about of a provenance of most uncertain intelligence.
Songs that say Yahweh were removed by the Vatican a couple of years ago, because they showed disrespect to the tetragrammaton and because Yahweh had never been used in Catholic material. Dan Schutte of “You Are Near,” (as in Yahweh I know You are near) fame notes that this is simply not true, Yahweh was used in the Jerusalem Bible. I’m not sure if the decision percolated down to the parishes very much in any case. I’m also not at all sure it is important as Yahweh is not the tetragrammaton, it has more than four letters for one thing, and so merely stands for the idea. Ineffability is not compromised by human strictures on language.
Songs in the voice of God are also said to be anathema. Ask the writer of the Psalms to revise a whole lot of them immediately as they are therefore quite unsuitable. This idea shows such a lack of liturgical imagination, I’m amazed some clerics can find their way to Church at all.
For some reason, Australians thought it was worth asking Rome about music. The recommendations, if ever proceeded with, would only be binding in Australia. Other English speaking areas look after these things themselves, ie the local bishop in America where a song is published. Do we really need songs that are going to be continued to be sung in American Liturgies, banned in Australian liturgies?
What I am interested in, is decisions made by our local archdiocese that reflect local liturgical needs and backed up by greater support and advice to liturgists and musicians.
