Bishop Alexander Sample is still bishop of Marquette, Michigan, but on January 29 he was named archbishop of Portland, Oregon. It has been noted that Bishop Sample\u00a0celebrates the Extraordinary Form<\/a> (the unreformed pre-Vatican II rite of Mass) in the Marquette Cathedral. As archbishop of Portland, he will (among other things) lead the board of directors of OCP<\/a> (Oregon Catholic Press).<\/p>\n

On January 21, Bishop Sample issued a Pastoral Letter on Sacred Music in Divine Worship., “Rejoice in the Lord Always<\/a>.” I invite your carefuly study and commentary on the document.<\/p>\n

I see that the document cites the Vatican II liturgy constitution, Sacrosanctum Concilium<\/em>, 13 times – more than any other source. But\u00a0Bishop Sample\u00a0has a particular slant on Vatican II and which parts of it he wants to emphasize.<\/p>\n

Bishop Sample quotes Pope Pius X’s 1903 motu proprio<\/em> “Tra le sollecitudini” 6 times, in second place (tied with the General Instruction of the Roman Missal) of all sources he cites.<\/p>\n

The US bishops’ 2007 document “Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship<\/a>“? Not so much.\u00a0One citation. Yup, one.<\/p>\n

The primary post-Vatican II Roman document on music, Musican sacram<\/em> of 1967? One.<\/p>\n

Pius XI and Pius XII each appear once. Paul VI? Forget it.<\/p>\n

JP2 is cited three times – no doubt because his very low-level 2003 chirograph on the hundredth anniversary of 1903 draws on 1903 so heavily. Benedict XVI is also cited three times.<\/p>\n

The reinterpretation of Vatican II continues apace. 1903 is in big time.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to keep an eye on Portland.<\/p>\n
