Although I appreciate Anglo-Catholic worship, I have
also appreciated the Low Churchman for his clever send-ups of both A-C worship
and of low church puerile Puritan prejudices against such.
But now the Low Churchman has gone too far. He has dared to write dismissively of .
. . Palestrina!
Outrage! I
revere Palestrina as do all right thinking men and women of good and proper
Anglican taste.
Us Anglicans can put up with a heretic priest or bishop
or two or three or five hundred.
But an assault on Palestrina! . . .
I may need a stiff drink to calm down.

I had to laugh at,
"Sicut cervus, which prays to St Januarius to send a plague of rickets upon all loyal churchmen"
That is about as low as you can go.
