I love just being able to listen to such harmonious sounds.....I think we spend too much time listening to the noisy,cahotic sounds of the news,bad music that it is nice to be able to click and hear this.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!! so smooth and relaxing yet original. love it

That was incredible. You may find it appropriate to call me a member of a protestant denomination, but I am foremost a son of God and a follower of Christ. Thus, I believe that our God, who is so massive, has beauty in many places. I only wish they sang Gregorian chant in my church.

Wunderbar! The monks were all over Europe in the Age of Faith. They started universities, hospitals, and made great cheese, beer, and wine! May they return!

coś pięknego - cisza, ukojenie w modlitwie. CHYBA KUPIĘ PŁYTĘ!

absolutely fantastic. this is what we need more of as it is so relaxing. I will buy Chant Music for Paradise and any other they make.

@TheOrlandoCatholic Thank you for this detailed information. It was very helpful.

Benedict XVI, Address to Chief Rabbi of Rome, Jan. 16, 2006: "Distinguished Chief Rabbi, you were recently entrusted with the spiritual guidance of Romes Jewish Community; you have taken on this responsibility enriched by your experience as a scholar and a doctor who has shared in the joys and sufferings of a great many people. I offer you my heartfelt good wishes for your mission, and I assure you of my own and my collaborators cordial esteem and friendship."

this is gregorian chant in his pure form "psalmony"

Just great:)

Look, this discussion doesn't lead to anything... Will we argue forever?

Dios les bendiga siempre,...¡Qué hermoso! Un saludo lleno de alegría desde Tenerife (Islas Canarias - España)

Oto siła Tradycji... Niebiański śpiew - Chorał Gragoriański - Tradycjo powróć !

If you were to define "GOTHIC CATHEDRAL" Notre Dame would be the poster child.

Benedict XVI, Principles of Catholic Theology (1982), p. 198: "Nor is it possible, on the other hand, for him to regard as the only possible form and, consequently, as binding on all Christians the form this primacy has taken in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The symbolic gestures of Pope Paul VI and, in particular, his kneeling before the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarch [the schismatic Patriarch Athenagoras] were an attempt to express precisely this"

Yhe most inspiring Church I've benn to is Notre Dame.

congrats! i heard #no#01 in th charts of Great Britanin

I ask this as a question and not as an attack. I am a Christian, I was offered up a baptist as a baby. Christened and Confirmed an Anglican and in recent years I have attended a Pentecostal Church. My allegiance is to the Holy Trinity and not to any one house of faith. Anyway can you explain to me why it appears that so much emphasis in Catholicism is placed on the virgin Mary, including prayer.?

Of course I agree with your statement as it stands. I also assert that people attack Holy Mother Church in books they write. "Principles of Catholic Theology" by Joseph Ratzinger comes to mind. Or are you going to say he didn't write that book?

It matters. For example, some people in varied faiths believe that a suicidal death which kills those who do not believe is pleasing to God. Is this true or false? What you think determines how you act.

I have to ask where you have derived this statement from. If you mean an apostasy from the current times then you are correct. V2 was a return to form of more traditional times around the time of Constantine. It was also a call to reform many of the abuses and correct many of the misinterpretations of contemporary methods. Unfortunately though most people only see V2 as a "they turned mass into a circus". This is wrong.

what is their song about?

I know something from the Internet and we have one man of that kind in Slovakia. And I repeat: I am not a nember of Novus Ordo Where did you get it from that a man must be Traditionalist, and if he isn't, he is a member of NO?

SSPX!? I have nothing to do with those apostates!

Please do not arguing with each other, friends. Lots of challenge from world outside are waiting us to down.

@BrotherAlphonsusMary Or perhaps "Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins [...] Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." - Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, ex cathdera.

I repeat: THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, ONE TRUE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ONE HOLY FATHER I'LL BE LOYAL TO...

speaking, pardon... one Holy Father, one Catholic Church, one God...

@2ndbase21325 nowhere in scripture does it say that we should base our faith "sola scriptura". - just a thought.

If you believed the Catholic Faith, and that all who die outside of it are lost, then you would not think JP2 was a great person, but a great fiend, since he encouraged all kinds of pagan idolatry, and never rebuked them. He even praised their false religions, accepted their blessings and joined in their prayers.

@SummaTheologica , I believe you are incorrect in he number of Anglicans converting to Catholicism

@Nekrohol So I am not a Catholic? :-D

@2ndbase21325 Ah yes, perhaps now you see... we believe much the same about traditional beliefs and practices which can be traced back to the apostles' teachings [though not necessarily stated explicitly in their writings]... we believe that they taught us [and by the grace of the Holy Spirit we have preserved it through the ages] though some of it was never actually written down. - as you say "(its) sorta implied"

@catherinesteph excepting that it says it is the very word of God... sort of implied, I would think.

@BrotherAlphonsusMary saying it doesn't make it so.

Apparently it hits a nerve with certain people. Freemasonary according to some scholars predates Christianity. Unfortunately there are plenty of Conspiracy theories that hold very little water but due to the secrecy of the sect, it's impossible to know the truth. However the idea that freemasons were in control or had a part in Vatican II is just yet another bizarre theory thanks to those who haven't bothered to read the documents.

Benedict XVI, Zenit News story, Sept. 5, 2000: "We are in agreement that a Jew, and this is true for believers of other religions, does not need to know or acknowledge Christ as the Son of God in order to be saved"

@AureusVenerabilis: you don't even know what a heresy is.

or a thousand.

I am certainly not.

bei 0:55 singt mein cousin xD wollt ich nur mal loswerden *stolz ist*

What is wrong with Novus Ordo? Also there really isn't such a thing as 3rd Order Cistercian, unless you mean a Lay Cistercian. I'm not that. I'm a full monk.

No. Apostasy is going against the catholic church. It is leaving it in favor of another religion or creating a new one despite being exposed to the truths of the Catholic Faith. The Society of St. Piux X is an example of pure apostasy. Quite simply put.

@TheOrlandoCatholic Evangelicals do not believe you are dormant after death. We believe in the resurrection of the spirit to heaven when you die and after the second coming of Christ we receive a glorified body when "all things are made new". Communion of the saints doesn't make sense to evangelicals because nowhere in Scripture does it say we are to pray to/for anyone after they are dead.

pure truth, nekrohol...

well in the next 10 years who know what will happen ( its now 2011)

no god

Oh yeah, because one who teaches heresy can be a pope! Who is the pope? I wouldn't be much of a sede if I had an answer for that question, would I? ;)

l mean, if that doesn't convince you of JPll's complete apostasy, then nothing will. ln the 4th century regional council of Orange, to worship idols after having been a baptized Catholic, was considered the height of iniquity. Now what would they say about a man who purported to be the Church's "Pope", who gave a room to every infidel in which to adore the Devil and perform their idol and false worships, and not to mention in a Catholic monastery!? As the Height of apostasy indeed.

Yes, he was loyal when the Church was fine, in the late 19th century, when there was a real Pope

And how do you dare to mention st. Anthony? He was also loyal to the Church

Chill, yes? I made one mistake ( S instead of A, it's not my fault). Well, Muslims are Muslims, but did you read my previous message? Try to read it...

that's your loss then. you've completely missed the point.

There is no such thing as a Vow of Silence as the "4th Vow". An individual can make such a vow before God and His Saints, however such a vow was never a part of the Benedictine Rite.

most of these comments have nothing to do with the music which is good but way to soft, can't hear it clearly. They need better accoustics

The Catholic Church is the one true Church of the one true God, She alone can define with infallibility the Divinely Revealed truths, in the Solemn Magisterium. Anything that contradicts these definitions is NOT Catholic, surely you can admit to this much. Do you agree with my statement? Yes or no is all I want form you at the moment.

@BrotherAlphonsusMary Not so. You see, I have presented the evidence that consists not of "my saying so" but of the words of the man himself, as recorded in his own books, which are directly contrary to the dogmatic definitions of the Vatican Council concerning the primacy of the papacy. If you feel that you can show how the principles applied in the very first article that comes up when you Goodle "Ratzinger denies a BIG dogma", then feel free to PM me.

Read PASTOR AETERNUS...

@BrotherAlphonsusMary if you attempt a comprehensive defense of Vatican II, commenting on the actual contents of the documents thereof, you will say much against reason and the Catholic Faith.

Excuse me but heresy is the denial of a Divinely revealed dogma of the Faith, not the rejection of a person who denies them. He never praised another religion? I suppose Benedict XVI never did either then? You know not whereof you speak.

Check Catechism of the Catholic Church :-) if you want to know who is the Pope

He NEVER praised another religion... Don't mix paganism, praising another religions and ecumenism together, they are not the same... Holy Father was the man of ecumenism, not pagan...

Sorry but I'm afraid you are the one who is confused as I finally noticed your nickname here. Issues with Vatican II I see. Obviously you haven't really studied it then. I can recommend a few great books.

No, I am not Traditionalist and even not a member of Novus Ordo...no way...(I don't like all these schismatic and heretic groups) . I am Roman Catholic, no matter what the others say. But isn't it too courageous to call JPII "satanic" and "antipope"? I know that the only true religion is christianity, but there should be some respect to other religions...not to participate on their feasts and so, but to respect. Do you understand what I mean? And who are you, Nekrohol?

Gregorian Chant IS music, but it does not conform to Western style as it predates the western influences of music. If you listen to rather old medieval music you will see the same "one voice" pattern. Gregorian Chant is also prayer but let's not discount one for another. You are singing your prayers to God. ;) Take it from another Cistercian. ;)

Novous ordo is not EVIL stop saying rubbish! Novous Ordo if celebrated as it should be is a perfecxt offering to God, I agree with you only if you state that there are priests who abused of the Vatican council II. For example Drums and rock mass are sacriligeous in a Church but just because the priest faces the people and says mass with vernacular there is nothing EVIL, read Vatican II ! Infact Vatican II never rid Latin Mass, it stated that Gregorian is to be kept in the highest respect!

When he isn't (it's sure he is,that's silly what you're saying), who then? But don't go on me with that "antipopes" like Linus II., Leo XIV. or what...

only one true god - and if so - would he/she/it/the care - i think not - this trivial exchange of words don't make it better - one god - many gods - does it matter? You believe, they believe, we believe And i don't - now batter me

Benedict XVI is not the Holy Father. THAT is what I am saying.

Atheist or not, you are more than you think

Muslim have easier than Christian: to mahomet, God just sent Gabriel to dictate him a book :)

And may God and the most Holy Virgin Mary lead you out of that heretic things you're writing... God bless you

lol! History is a passion of ours and I can tell you, i have no idea where in history you can equate both Catholic Charity and Freemasonry unfortunately you have and I have a feeling you are unwilling to learn "actual" history over your own ideas. Oh well. You can't win them all.

@BrotherAlphonsusMary You're a blind heretic. You say that "Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus" is not to be taken literally. I suppose: "Hence, too, that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be maintained which has once been declared by Holy mother Church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext or in the name of a more profound understanding" (Pope Pius IX, Vatican Council, ex cathedra) Is not to be taken literally either?

lt looks like you don't know much about sedevacantism...you don't right?

If you know what you are "spesking" about, then why did you make a factual incorrect assertion? Both men offered words of praise and esteem to false religions. For example, your "pope" Benedict said: "my personal view of the Quran, for which I have the respect due to the holy book of a great religion" This is a fact.

I think that you sedevacationists don't consider Holy Father John Paul II. a "legal" Pope, but WHY? JPII was one of the greatest people in the history

The Catholic Church was founded on Jesus giving authority to the apostles and through Acts and Paul's Letter we see the blueprint of the Catholic Church. It clear you honestly have biased opinions that have no foundational basis whatsoever. I pray that God give you clarity. It's all there. Let's go of whatever passions have you at the moment.

I KNOW what I am spesking about... JPII and BXVI are Christians, Catholics, It's silly that they would worship any other gods...Do you know the word "ecumenism"? Say what you want, but there is only one true God one true Catholic Church and one Holy Father I'll be loyal to...

I am very well acquainted with the (one and only) Vatican Council. It is one of the reasons I reject your "church", which is led by men who contradict the teachings contained therein. For example Benedict XVI's denial of the very Constitution you speak of! Google "Ratzinger denies a BIG dogma".

Sorry, but sedevacationists don't consider such great person as Holy Father John Paul II. a "legal" Pope and YOU DARE TO CALL US HERETICS?

Call me as you want...who is blind? I said it to Davecyco, I say it also to you: There is only one God, one true Catholic Church and one Holy Father I'll be loyal to. And these things you say are apostasy...

.i dont believe in venerating mary because she isnt god and i believe that would be blasphemous

Do you know what? It doesn't make sense to have any discussions with you... We can argue forever, but is there any reason to do it? You will always tell me that JPII. isn't a pope... I know that there is the truth... Leave me alone, will you?

And doesn't it sound heretic to say that JPII is an apostate? Nonsense, real nonsense... It sounds very heretic to me... And you think that Holy See is still in the state of "sede vacante" since the death of John XXIII? Pure heresy

I'm sorry but to me it sounds just boring. They all sing the same vocal line, there's no background. Where's the harmony? It's raw, it's not developed. Probably you have to be very stressed out to enjoy that kind of music. But I'd prefer silence myself.

I dont really like this :(
