- Title
Theological Problems of Church Music.
- Authors
Ratzinger, Joseph
- Abstract
A reprint of the article "Theological Problems of Church Music," by Joseph Ratzinger, which appeared in "Crux et Cithara" is presented. The article discusses the ecclesiastical and theological crisis of church music. It argues that church music seems to have fallen between two differing theological millstones, one stands the puritanic functionalism of a liturgy conceived in pragmatic terms and the other which the author called the functionalism of accommodation. It explains the four levels of the problem.
