Decorum in Church
From St. Martin's Messenger, Ireland
Q Do we really realise that the Lord of Lords abides 24 hours day and night, a prisoner in the Tabernacle just for us?? People seem to have forgotten that there is an increasing lack of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament. MT G, Hamburg, Germany
The above is an abbreviatedVersion of your letter. I
understand your concern but I personally believe that the vast
majority of people who come to Church will not intentionally
behave in a way that is disrespectful to the Blessed
Sacrament. A few quiet words with a neighbour after Mass
cannot be classed as a lack of reverence. However we should
all remember that the church is 'a place of prayer' and people
should be allowed to pray in silence without distraction.
Silence facilitates dialogue with the Lord. In deference to those who wish to pray, those who, after Mass, wish to talk should try and do so in the porch or preferably outside the church doors and so allow others who want to pray to do so in peace.

The choir, musicians, the priests sermon, prayer dance, processions etc are all performed to worship, honour & glorify God .
Not much changed, musically speaking, in Christian churches until the end of the 20th century, when folk music and acoustic guitars began to 'find their way into worship services.' In the past five or ten years, contemporary Christian churches have led the way in bringing fresh and often electrified music to the worship experience. In the space of a decade, more has happened to change the face of church music than in the prior century. The church organ now shares the stage with electric guitars, amps, keyboards and ? drum kits.
All this is done to worship & not to display 'TALENTS' to God.
Well, the Church is a meeting place for the faithful.Yes indeed! Where two or more are gathered to experience spiritual interaction with God & NOT HUMANS.We Humans can meet & interact at marketplace,Malls etc.or any other place on Earth but NOT IN CHURCH.
And go to Church Well Dressed !

Well, the Church is a meeting place for the faithful. Its a place for human and spiritual interaction. And a concert is part of human interaction. Churches are very careful with what kind of groups or musicians they allow to perform (usually non profits, charity based, non commercial). And concerts never disrupt a scheduled church service. If you reflect back on your church experience, a 'display of talents' takes place in church at every service - the choir, musicians, the priests sermon, prayer dance, processions etc. And if you ask around, most people are drawn to church for this crucial human interaction that leads to a spiritual experience. Folk music did find its way into the church especially in India, though the content is monitored. Therefore, this narrow sense of sacredness that the church is a place for prayer and worship ONLY should be reconsidered. When you take 'people' out of the 'church' you end up taking the 'church' out of people!

The Bottle Masala video seems to be sung in the church of St. Francis Vile Parle. If I am wrong please let me know. My apologies for the same. But if I'm right I think it is in bad taste.
