Catholic liturgical music is serious, solemn, transcendent, but Catholic musicians are never more fun and inspiring than when they are talking about what they love most. This is what happens at sacred music events around the world: the social and intellectual are critically important elements. The musicians (and music enthusiasts) at the Chant Café, a project of the
Church Music Association of America, bring that sense of life and love to the digital world. As St. Augustine said, "Cantare amantis est."

Forever new, forever old! What a blessing to view the entire ceremony in my home via internet and chant cafe. Five months later Pope Francis continues on as successor to St. Peter as Christ's vicar on earth. Long live the Pope!
