The articles re the CCCB directive to obliterate disgraced Bishop Raymond Lahey’s name from the “We are Strong Together” religious ed. texts is posted, along with another series of articles related to the burgeoning scandal of clerical sex abuse and cover-up in Europe. I have comments to make on all, but some more than others, i.e., 20 March 2010: Too little, too late?. I will blog later.

What about the hymn books?
Right you are. The hymn books!! How many little liturgical ditties were penned by Lahey?
What a job that one would be! Pasting over every Lahey compostion in every hymnal.
Will the CCCB take that bold ‘judgemental’ step?
If good can come out of evil the supression of the Lahey hymnals would be an example.
Here’s three of Lahey’s many musical contributions to our ‘liturgy’.
