I wasn't a fan of much of the music at the Mass. The Responsorial Psalm was frighteningly dissonant all around, for example. The commentators on EWTN (Fr. John Neuhaus and Raymond Arroyo) made some painful and insightful remarks, and Jeffrey Tucker at The New Liturgical Movement says more than I could say, and he says it with more charity and tact.
The Vespers service held the night before had beautiful music. I am hoping the Masses in NYC will be more sacred and also present a refreshing contrast to that Mass in DC.

Ave, Papa Benedictus XVI!
The Pope has landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Praise God that his flight was safe, and may the Holy Father be blessed with health for years to come! I am sure his visit will be the beginning of great things for the Catholic Church, especially for all Catholics in the United States.
