Any time a new blog about liturgy and music launches, we\u2019re curious what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n<p>The contributors at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chantcafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chant Caf\u00e9<\/a> are listed as William Mahrt, Arlene Oost-Zinner, Adam Bartlett, Nick Gale, Charles Culbreth, Scott Turkington, Jeffrey Tucker, and Fr. Christopher Smith \u2013 lots of well-known and respected authorities in the field of sacred music. You\u2019ve seen many of them chime in here at <em>PrayTell<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I think I already know what the caf\u00e9 is about. It\u2019s a pretty devious plot, a\u00a0rather insidious manner of promoting chant: the caf\u00e9 is unfailing positive, even joyful; charitable; even-handed and constructive. If this continues, people are going to start having all sorts of dangerously good associations for chant, maybe even start to see it as a treasure to promote. This could really get out of hand. I\u2019m glad I\u2019ve unmasked their crafty ploy early on.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago someone alerted me to a comment at the caf\u00e9 that <em>PrayTell<\/em> is anti-Catholic \u2013 did I want to ask them to remove it? Before I could get to it, the comment was already gone.
