"Rock group, set to perform at WYD, questions Pope's authority and his statements against Rock-Music for the Latin-Liturgy"

Santiago, 05 AUGUST 2005(CNA/CWNews.com) - In an interview with a popular music
website in Chile, the Christian rock band from Argentina, Rescate, which
boasts of being "the only Hispanic artists that will participate in the
closing concert for the XX World Youth Day," criticized Pope Benedict XVI,
who will be the central figure at the celebrations in Cologne, Germany.
The 8-member rock band told the Chilean website "Musica123" that the group
seeks "to spread the message of Jesus in a language that is understandable
to every person." In the interview granted during their first visit to
Chile, the band said, "Personally, we don't think the Pope is God's
representative on earth. Jesus came to do away with any intermediary between
God and man, and therefore we have a direct relationship with Him."
"To me the Pope's strength is more political than spiritual," said vocalist
and band leader Ulises Eyherabide. "This Pope, who is so orthodox, so rigid
and not very ecumenical in eyes of some, could turn out to be a surprise
because of how he might be forced to change due to political situations from
which he cannot escape." "Replacing John Paul II obviously has more of a
political than a spiritual significance," he added.
Asked about their own religious identity, the band members said, "We are
followers of Christ beyond any specific identity. You can define yourself as
a Catholic and be.I don't know. Today we have a Pope who in theory
represents the entire Church. Nevertheless, there are those who say this is
not the case. Therefore, why divide Jesus even more when in reality He came
for all of mankind? Religion is responsible for creating these differences."
Not only will Rescate represent the majority Catholic Spanish-speaking
peoples of the world at the closing concert for World Youth Day on August
21, the band's song "Quitamancha" will be included on the official WYD CD
entitled "Building One World," which will remind young people for years to
come of the largest Catholic event in the world, with Pope Benedict XVI
being the central figure in attendance.
Doug Archer, co-founder of the Catholic music website
CatholicMusicNetwork.com (Reddemusicacatolica.com), said he knew little
about the Argentinean band. "In any case, I am aware of many excellent
artists from the Spanish-speaking world who are very well-known and
completely Catholic, and who could have a great impact at World Youth Day."

Our Papa did not show it publicly that 21st Sunday in August, but later it was indeed shown that he was inwardly deeply disturbed by the non-spiritual disruptive intentions of the "performing" artists.
"Pope Benedict and the Liturgy" by John Haas

As for the memorable Polish adventure, I recorded a set of 13 DVD's to accomodate the EWTN coverage! "Mein Schatz" for sure....

But even more remarkable and exquisite was the music for Saturday's "Pentatcost Vigil", and Sunday's Ecclesiasitical/ "Pentacost Mass"...specially composed for the occasion [with an occassional Taiz song interspersed]. I WAS ENTHRALLED: I never found a boring moment during the 6 hr Vigil, nor the 3-hr. Sunday Mass! It was perfectly composed and literally thrilling with closing "drum-rolls" which were appropriate...not melodramatic. TOTALLY SPIRITUAL.
