...disliked in his Churches: it was Peoria." Thus, the liberal sought to get back to the Monastery, to a more aesthetic Mass. He wanted to show his non-Catholic liberal friends that he was like them not only in his politics, but also in his tastes. He wanted to prove that it was neither gauche nor unenlightened to be a Catholic. The change to the vernacular Mass was a natural: it would prove that the Mass was not a bunch of mane babbling, but a "meaningful" theological experience, made all the more so because people could now know what...

To call his performance antilife, when it is really an attempt to augment a medium that is in danger of stagnation, is to deny his innovative efforts, and is wildly paranoic to boot. Concern for society is one thing, witch hunting is another. Besides, Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention were performing almost precisely the same things almost four years ago. Zappa's atrocities, as they were called...
