I am a lifelong catholic,and none of the priests I know would have any objection to steel guitar in a mass,and I have possed the question. What could be more wonderfull than The Old Rugged Cross on steel? Hell'who could object to that?No priest I know,and the Jesuits had to deal with me in high school,and 28 years later some are still damn good friends!

I hate to see words like that in the same post with "The Old-Rugged Cross". My personal opinion.

When the Holy Father visited California a few years back, he seemed to enjoy music from a Mexican kid with no arms who played the guitar with his feet.

Thank you, Kyle. If I'm not reminded now & then how much Catholicism is hated by bigots, I begin to wonder if I'm in the wrong religion.

<SMALL>I know a lot of churches in the Protestant faith just use organ and/or piano, similar to the Catholic church. The nondenominational Protestant church my family attends has a full modern combo up front with drums, bass, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harp, and assorted vocalists. </SMALL>
In Holland it's just the other way round, the Catholic church is far more progressive then the Protestant and Reformed Churches. Since I was 12 years old, now I'm 45, I played the electric guitar in a combo with a choir. I did that till I was 18. It still happens, still not in the other churches. However, a lot of youngsters go to meetings in Stadiums and halls, to sing, organised by reformed churches. As long as it's not in the building...

Bill Fall--You are in the right religion and so are millions of other people.
Kyle--Say what?! That's the Catholic way!? We have the same Ten Commandments and no one has to tell me what is right or wrong. I guess I will have to add one condition for the Ultimate Forum--#11--Thou shalt not be Catholic. Sorry, bOb for going off topic. Joe
