I forgot to say that I am deeply distressed, not that you thought I was criticizing you, (because that would be one of those disingenuous "I'm sorry that YOU feel..." non-apologies corporate mouthpieces and big-mouthed politicians make,) I am deeply distressed that I expressed myself so clumsily that you thought I was criticizing you.<br /><br />(Save the Liturgy, Save the World)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398283562752570856.post-21349418780809661752010-07-09T10:20:02.436-07:002010-07-09T10:20:02.436-07:00Oh, Charles, NO!

I meant it - okay, not really about the inhabitants of Sacramento and environs, but specifically the author of the obliquely referenced post on Chant Cafe, namely, YOU.<br /><br />Let's face it, we ALL know that we should behave, and we do, MOST of the time, but you, of all the posters on CC, TNLM, MS, never seem to forget it, and I admire that.<br /><br />I wish I could say I emulate it, as well, but I am snarky by nature, and forget the best of intentions.<br /><br />But seeing your post; the CCHD news; thinking about, okay, not "Worst," but at least "bad" church music; and noting the phrase, "0nly a limited amount of energy is given us," -- the confluence reminded me of what's usually the BEST reason not to do certain things, (whether it's giving money to a particular charity, or singing a particular song in Church,) and that is, that it prevents your dedicating your resources, (whether of time, energy or cold hard cash,) to BETTER things.<br /><br />But again, I'm serious -- you are constantly showing yourself to be a better person, (at least than I,) in the charity you bring to blogging.<br /><br />Save the Liturgy, Save the World!Scelatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674226359189392827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398283562752570856.post-78573985186973891112010-07-09T08:34:47.091-07:002010-07-09T08:34:47.091-07:00Geez, G...

That aside, we in the CenCA aren't obviously better, nor was it remotely my intent that my protestations were to reflect that by-product. I always advocate a "civil approach." But that wasn't the point of the post either. I simply didn't think it in the best interest of CMAA to simply reprint the FT article without some sort of qualification. If we truly want to persuade folks towards "what WE do" at CMAA, which is so foreign to regular USofA PIPs, and which our adversaries would call alienating, we ought not to associate ourselves with diatribe that had all the subtlety of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.<br />That's all.Mr. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649237173680633611noreply@blogger.com
