"It is the spiritual side of humankind that has always been the bedrock of the “quality” of human existence; without this quality we are left with only quantity." As a community singer and song leader, these of your words resonated very deeply. Most (all?) singing traditions have faith as the centre with the stories of human doings weaving in, out and through. The submersion of self into the song interrupts the "games" and supports a return to the centre. I am facilitating a community singing workshop in April and ask your blessing to use the quote please.
Pope Francis issues a papal encyclical explaining that most commandments are optional, anyway.
This will probably happen in the next few years even if God doesn't reveal a new commandment!
