Dear Fr.,
A seven-fold Halleluia and Amen to your response. I have suffered for 30 years under the greatest intolerance in the Church’s history. Yes, I am a classical Church musician, and as such deeply wounded by the militant and destructive ways which have been so damaging to our Church.
Also, all decent and liturgically minded priests that I have known have suffered intense persecution, which only eased with the election of Pope Benedict XVI. It is time that we come back to a church that is driven by love, tolerance and beauty, rather than ideology.
In Christ,
Uwe Lieflander
