While the Catholic Church's leading lights yammer about 'social justice' (a term which is deliberately un-definable), there are some ironies about that.
...There is no surer path to financial insolvency than for a hard worker to
direct their energies towards some form of full-time Catholic
apostolate, or to slave away for long hours as a Director of Religious
Education, or to teach at a Catholic school....
Let us refine that a bit. The statement is true, but ought to include church musicians--especially those who actually have and want to practice using actual Catholic liturgical principles. Because, in most of those cases, the wages afforded to them are zero.
Amen!
