What Songs Are Allowed During the Mass? – The Catholic Mass # 29

1 hour 32 minutes

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the importance, the history, and the controversies surrounding sacred art. What is the purpose of religious art? Through the centuries, have artists been successful in meeting this purpose? Why are religious icons in the East so vastly different from Western religious images? Is one better than the other? Further, we examine what art should and shouldn’t be in churches. Can art be too distracting? Should we instead focus on the Mass, not the decoration? And finally we discuss the future of good Catholic Art and how to achieve it.

What is the SSPX Podcast?

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.

What is the SSPX?

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood.

Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls.

Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.
