Today perhaps a Bach Mass or a Mozart Requiem can revive that eerie " feeling " of Catholic Church mystique

When the public schools are becoming more and more repulsive or terrifying to Catholic parents it is sad to hear of these more and more closings of Catholic High Schools and Catholic elementary schools. For more than a century they were pillars not only of traditional Catholicism but also of Western Civilization. Way back in the 1950s and the 1960s in Catholic school a kid really did learn READING , WRITING , and ARITHMETIC . In no way could you graduate from the 6th grade completely ILLITERATE ! And some sound theology and moral instruction in the illustrated pages of the Baltimore Catechism. Of course , an increasingly WOKE Catholic Church is beginning to forget its past and losing its 2000 year old gravitas and mystique . Today a Bach Mass or a Mozart Requiem might revive that eerie mystical " feeling ". Baltimore Catechism No. 1 LESSON FIRST: ON THE END OF MAN 1. Q. Who made the world? [A. God made the world. 2. Q.
