In
the Catholic liturgy, religion enters into a most intimate alliance
with art, above all with music. ... in the Roman Catholic liturgy,
the realization of the perennially Paschal Exsultent divina
mysteria, the jubilant celebration of the divine mysteries
in sacred music, in an artistic language which all men can understand
because it knows no bounds. Such music has become in the wonderful
expression of Cardinal Faulhaber, a fiery tongue of the Holy
Ghost which speaks eloquently down through the ages, bringing
to all men the good news of redemption and eternity, of love
and security, of forgiveness and everlasting Paschal joys! (Excerpted
from Musica
