Apparently, The Catholic Heraldhas covered my Summorum Pontificum song on its front page. On their website I can just make out the words, 'Blogger Hails Latin Mass on Folk Guitar'. Is it a folk guitar? I thought it was an acoustic guitar but then what does it matter? It's still an instrument from the pits of Hades!

Long live His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, gloriously reigning.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper in saecular saeculorum. Amen.

The Ballad of Summorum Pontificum
It was the 7th July 2007 “The most beautiful day This side of Heaven”
A treasure was released The Mass of all Ages The Missal was closed Now a Priest turns the pages
