- Beginning in 2022, we at St Joan of Arc Catholic Church, FSSP here in Post Falls, Idaho, have had the blessing and privilege to sing Handel's "Hallelujah" as a postlude after the recessional. Our Director and choir do such an amazing job with it, it gives me the chills every time. Not too shabby for a parish choir with no professional singers, eh? :)
Directed by Ms. Anne Marie Vogel

I’m sorry but with as MAGNIFICENT a composition and as BEAUTIFUL a performance as that seemed to be, it seems it would be wrong and therefore has been wrong to bring that into a Catholic parish, incorporate it as part of Catholic worship or for a Catholic Mass, and display it on a Catholic channel - especially when this has been and is now linked with traditional Catholicism. I understand that it's VERY hard not to greatly appreciate and admire it. And I suppose if you’re just listening privately for personal reflection, remembering things from your own past life (especially if you were at one time protestant but have differing thoughts and beliefs on things now), or otherwise just researching and learning music and/or music history on your own time in general, that might be different. Otherwise, though, I would say it was a great work and have no issue with this choir having worked to perform it so excellently IF there was reason to believe that Handel at least became a Catholic by the end of his life. However, at the very least, there’s no evidence to believe he ever converted and at most, reason to believe he never did. Instead, what I’ve read is that he held very strong PROTESTANT beliefs all his life, once played for a CALVINIST congregation and otherwise lived and died a Lutheran. For purposes of Catholic worship and the holy Mass, there is no judgment made as to what the eternal destination has been, is or will be of any protestant by saying that protestant music should continuously be left only in protestant churches, in protestant worship or mostly just among protestant circles. Although I didn’t know anything about Handel before now and made the mistake of approving of that performance at first, I was wondering what had gone so sideways with a “traditional” and supposedly most orthodox Catholic fraternity parish that they’d started slipping from the reverence they were always supposed be known for by suddenly having a “flashing” or “blinking” Jesus in one of their videos. So, I don’t know if that reflected one, some or all of you all having gone TOO soft or sweet on protestants or somehow just becoming demoralized by something, but I would have wondered about the “blinking” or “flashing” Christ and been a bit disappointed in that even if that piece had been composed by a Catholic or by someone who at least converted later on.

the proper Western Christian transcription of the word is "allelúia," not "hallelujah"; the latter is an English Protestant "Reformation" use based on the Masoretic texts. And what does this glorious word mean? "All hail to Him Who is!"
Possibly also, please see or be reminded of Mass of the Ages 2 - The Perfect Storm
There was also a very short article from Corpus Christi watershed from a Catholic (composer?) of chant who stated that there is no reason or excuse for the Church to borrow or mooch from the protestants for reason(s) of worshipping God. I could no longer seem to locate it on the website but have it printed so if I find the source of it from that when I find out where I put it, maybe I'll come back to post that later.
**So, yes, I've relocated the Corpus Christi Watershed article and here it is: www.ccwatershed.org/2023/06/29/dom-andrew-gregory-murray-the-use-of-plainsong-in-heretical-worship/, the key words of which stood out to me as "I am not prepared to assist non-Catholics in the musical conduct of their services nor will I take part in a discussion which is calculated to promote the use of the official liturgical music of the Church in heretical worship. I suggest, therefore, that unless Catholic musicians, especially priests, are particularly careful ***in questions of this kind*** they may easily encourage non-Catholics in the belief that the differences between Catholics and non-Catholics are of minor importance....-(Dom) A. Gregory Murray
I also suggest possibly looking up and listening to a UA-cam video entitled "Should Catholics Listen to Protestant Music?" from Christian Catholic Media from November 2, 2020.
And now that is all.
