I read the comment late last night when I got back to the abbey and have given myself a bit of time today before replying to it.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, for the past approximately five years I headed up ICEL\u2019s music committee developing the chants of the forthcoming English missal. It was wonderfully stimulating work, and I am very grateful for my experiences \u2013 all of them positive \u2013 working with ICEL.<\/p>\n<p>In November I was informed by Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth, Executive Director of ICEL, that I would not be involved in the final stage of revising the music for the prefaces whose texts had been (yet again) changed. I suspect I was terminated because of pressure for Rome, since the letter stated that ICEL\u2019s collaborators could not be seen to facilitate criticism of the Holy See in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>I am impressed that Msgr. Wadsworth delivered this difficult news to me with such sensitivity, such high respect both for my scholarly judgments and for my freedom to express them. I don\u2019t think a parting of ways could be any more amicable or mutually respectful.<\/p>\n<p>Now that my work with ICEL is known publicly, and now that I am not involved in the production of the forthcoming missal, I feel the freedom to speak more openly. I hope I am able to do so with wise judgment, concern for the good of the Church, and respect for everyone involved in a new missal which is, I am convinced, a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, for the past approximately five years I headed up ICEL\u2019s music committee developing the chants of the forthcoming English missal.
