[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ameriac the Beautiful is sung in Catholic Mass. They don't allow secular songs as part of Mass. I have always viewed it as religious and patriotic.[/quote] [b]America the Beautiful is a secular song that was co-opted by the Catholic Church. Just because they did so, does not make it a religious song. It is a patriotic American song that as has been pointed out has--as many Americans do--roots from abroad (a borrowed English melody) but it's essence and spirit are American.[/b] [/quote] And just because you don't think it is a religious song does not mean that everyone else needs to agree with you. It can be both. It can be one or the other. You do not hold the monopoly on thought PP.[/quote] Just because a song mentions God doesn't make it a hymn. Ask your pastor if you can sing "God Blessed Texas" next Sunday.[/quote]
