G’Day Mary

There is some controversy within musical circles in the Catholic Church as to whether songs in which we sing in the voice of God are a good idea.

These links will introduce you to some of the arguments involved if you are interested.

I suspect it is not a problem, especially when they are scriptural. I also think that the assembly can discern that being the body of Christ is a challenge to be Christ in the world, rather than any claim to divinity.

I also don’t think anyone is going to stop singing hymns as popular as this one.

“Again we are singing in the voice of God so although it is scriptural from Ps 24 and
Jer 31 it is very wrong, and I’m sure we’ll keep singing it.”

What do you mean when you say “…it is very wrong…”?
