from the writings of Cardinal Ratzinger, aka newly elected Pope Benedict XVI:
"Rock" [music]. . . is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. People are, so to speak, released from themselves by the experience of being part of a crowd and by the emotional shock of rhythm, noise, and special lighting effects. However, in the ecstasy of having all their defenses torn down, the participants sink, as it were, beneath the elemental force of the universe." source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI >>>> altho born and raised a catholic i am, thanks to the maharishi, at least 50% hindu, and happier for it. and, one week ago i attended the best rock concert of my life, Ireland's best: U2 ... it was totally phenomenal !!! and just as much "like worship" as his holiness the pope rightly feared it would be ... ha, ha !!
