Welcome to our CVTV debut!
On this CVTV Premiere, we discuss this year's Music Survey from OCP, and the forthcoming Motu Proprio from Pope Benedict XVI that the liturgical world is anticipating.
Please bear with me in terms of sound issues (1: swishy / 2: as the show progresses, the sound seems to beat the movement of my mouth by about a half a second), as we'll be fixing those issues soon enough. If anyone has an idea on how to fix those, please let me know.

Christus Vincit Semi-live in the living room: Hey, we're like, tired, ya know. We've been doing so much time at the softball field lately that it's become our second home. What's nice though is that Brittany made all-stars, so I'm as proud as a dad can be. But today, we go semi-live in the peace, quiet, comfort, and solace of our own living room, while we play and discuss our music for Corpus Christi. We had a Procession after the Saturday Mass as well.
