I was beyond THRILLED when I checked in on PRISM's numbers for the last few days. I've clearly been preaching to the wrong choir with the wrong message. That it took one slow-cooking rant to bring it on isn't important. What IS important is that I may have just found my audience.
To fill in the uninformed: my last post described a scene and situation at my home parish. I told my DOM that I would provide him a list of hymns I preferred to do.
Using OCP's extremely helpful (quit laughing, it is very helpful) Music Finder online, I was able to compile a "four-hymn sandwich" for each weekend, feast, and solemnity in the Heritage Missal between the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time and Christ the King Sunday. I know, ideally we're supposed to be using antiphons, chant, etc., but one step at a time). In some cases , I was able to search by Scripture passage for the readings and responses; others, I had to take a more broad theme for the readings, Some weekends were extraordinarily difficult, others, not so much.
Here's 14 OT through 24 OT, inclusive. Tell me what you think. I'm not going to get all thin-skinned on you; in fact I may even get feisty.

In the interest of full disclosure, yes, this list probably sounds Lutheran because I grew up in the LCMS. We used the red 1941 hymnal (and the blue one before that). You can take the boy out of the LCMS but you can't take the LCMS (completely) out of the boy--but I would sleep better knowing that I gave my fellow Catholics better music to sing at Mass.
25OT to Christ the King Sunday to follow.
Onward!
