	* Erica again: we're trying to figure out the music for our wedding liturgy. We want it to be beautiful and holy, so we were going for the Missa de Angelis. I asked the priest back home for his blessing on our mass part choices and he said no. He thinks it ought to be in English, because “the participation of the people is the highest principle we are to use in judging things as we prepare to celebrate a liturgy” â€“ and he doesn't see how having Mass parts in Latin will be inviting toward our guests. He wants us to use the new mass parts they're learning back home in preparation for the new translation. I understand where he's coming from, but not a lot of our guests will be from that parish, my ~~fiancÃ©~~ and I do not know those mass parts, and on top of that they're not very beautiful (they have syncopated rhythms â€“ yuck). Is there a way I can respectfully ask, all things considered, for him to still let us use the Mass of the Angels? I want to glorify God and have a beautiful Mass. Or is this something I should just let go of?		* Erica again: we're trying to figure out the music for our wedding liturgy.

	* Erica again: weâ€™re trying to figure out the music for our wedding liturgy. We want it to be beautiful and holy, so we were going for the Missa de Angelis. I asked the priest back home for his blessing on our mass part choices and he said no. He thinks it ought to be in English, because â€œthe participation of the people is the highest principle we are to use in judging things as we prepare to celebrate a ~~liturgyâ€~~ â€“ and he doesnâ€™t see how having Mass parts in Latin will be inviting toward our guests. He wants us to use the new mass parts theyâ€™re learning back home in preparation for the new translation. I understand where heâ€™s coming from, but not a lot of our guests will be from that parish, my fiancÃ© and I do not know those mass parts, and on top of that theyâ€™re not very beautiful (they have syncopated rhythms â€“ yuck). Is there a way I can respectfully ask, all things considered, for him to still let us use the Mass of the Angels? I want to glorify God and have a beautiful Mass.
