“…the hymnal retains the traditional language of the hymns, with no politically driven language. The very few changes in texts are poetic or practical choices. … [it] is still the only Catholic hymnal in this country that includes substantially the entire contents of “Jubilate Deo,” the collection of Gregorian chants that Pope Paul VI sent to all bishops in 1976, asking that they be preserved.”
