Carlo:
Is that survey published anywhere? I'd like to use it in a paper I'm doing
for a Catholic Theology class.

> In the Roman Catholic church, we're not allowed to do any Christmas music
during Advent. As for every Sunday being "Easter", in a way, that's true.
The Sundays don't count in the 50 days of Lent, but you're still not allowed
to sing certain things on Sundays during Lent and Advent, such as the Gloria
and/or Alleluias.

> Our congregation loves to sing, but since we're a basilica (tourist
attraction), they also like to listen to the choir and organ solos, which we
do a lot of.
>
> A recent survey done in Montreal (Catholic churches) shows that more than
80% of people are happy with organ+choir, and would rather not have guitars
and other instruments. The youth feel the same. If music is done well,
everyone's happy.

> There's one church here that has a big screen that displays the words for
the hymns. This particular church put up that screen, thinking they'd save
money not having to buy hymnals. They're problem now is that most of the
congregation has their faces buried in their misalettes, and they don't even
look at the screen. Mind you, this particular church doesn't have a
'singing' congregation.
