I agree with you completely, Ms. Nussbaum.  I am a cradle Catholic who left the RCC for the Episcopalian Church when I was in my mid-fifties.  Apart from finally finding a true spiritual home, I am so glad I made the move to a denomination that treasures and sings beautiful, profound, historically significant hymns.  Hymns that are not sappy and sentimentally superficial, as so many of the hymns sung in Catholic churches are.  Music is a very important part of worship for me and I am so glad that I belong to a denomination that understands this.
