text: I hope to let this be the last time I address this issue in this forum. To continue: the message included in this translation is that the old way is better and the renewal was a mistake. The church will lose a large number of the next generation, not because of a failure to market the product (although the failure is evident) but because of a failure to achieve a necessary level of aesthetic excellence consistent with a living Gospel. A failure of this magnitude will only become apparent to the blind when the church is truly smaller, if not holier, as Benedict would like to see. 
         The sins of the church are very grave. To refuse renewal is to refuse to admit to the need for change-it is, in effect, to say that the church has no need of repentance, that is innocent of the crimes committed. It was always right, always beyond criticism. It is an exercise of idolatry.
