"By the way, gregorian chant is now immensely popular among non-Catholics. Catholics still don't like it that much. Go figure. The theology of the body is making leaps and bounds among Protestants; almost more than among Catholics. The pro-life movement is making more gains among Protestants than among Catholics. The realisation that contraception is unnatural is making immense gains among Protestants, more so than among Catholics. What's happening? Well, God's shaking us up! Who knows what's going to come out of the shaking!"

It must have had to do with the beauty of gregorian chant, because the response included the following quotation, which I liked very much:
