In my homeschool we sing the Psalms to the tunes of old Protestants. They're in English, and you can put many of them side by side with the KJV and be stunned at how faithful the text is.
You simply can't do that with the Psalms in the OCP, which is what every parish I've attended has used.
Thank God that old Protestant hymns are so easily available on the internet so that we can learn the Psalms in our language set to beautiful tunes.
"Blessed is the man who shuns the place where sinners love to meet." (Psalm 1)
What should you do if you find that you are the man that Mr. Tucker was speaking of? There are about 6 parishes out here, and every one is ran by Father Folkmass. I am so sick of seeing the Catholic faith being perverted and distorted. Every day I long for a true meaningful Mass like I remember from you and Fr. Newman. I still download and listen to both of your old homilies. What to do?

On the first day of the new translation, I was struck both by the beauty of the re-translated prayers and by the banality of the hymns we're singing with them. I hope that the music can be re-translated, too.
