On today's show, in addition to continuing our rant on the 2010 OCP Music Issue's issues (and upholding the good pieces in the book, hymns 538-623), we talk about the address given at the Year For Priests Clergy Conference in Rome by Pontifical Master of Liturgical Ceremonies Msgr. Guido Marini, particularly the part where he discusses the priest facing ad Orientem (to the East). Also, the Jungle Screechers have returned (along with Feasts for the Week), and three commercials for our "official products" that will be appearing regularly on iSNARK! (BTW, all three of these products are on the sidebar here!)
