Came across this one (Thomas More pic) from a book in the Gutenberg Project (I didn't note the title. Will have to go back and find it again.) Had more rabbit and corn yesterday. Both delicious.

Oh and here is a quote which may be possible to use in any liturgical music wars you may be engaged in:
For someone like me, who was interested in both the spiritual and intellectual grounding of the Christian faith, I didn't need the "folk Mass" with cute nuns and hip priests playing Kumbaya with guitars, tambourines and harmonicas. And it was all badly done. After all, we listened to the Byrds, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan, and we knew the Church just couldn't compete with them. But that's what the Church offered to the young people of my day: lousy pop music and a gutted Mass. If they were trying to make Catholicism unattractive to yo9ung and inquisitive Catholics, they were succeeding. [Francis Beckwith in the July 2007 CWR]
Now the guitars, harmonicas, and tambourines are mostly gone-but the music remains.
