Hmmn. Well I think it's a poorly written article intended to excite the reader, without actually giving a basis for the whole "God-less liturgy includes readings from Charlie Chaplin and music by Cat Stevens" comment. Nor do I think he wrote anything to substantiate his claim "The government in the Spanish region of Catalonia has published a new manual consisting of pagan formulas to substitute for the traditional Christian rites of baptism, marriage, and burial" . Many Catholic churches in America have sing and guitar playing in their masses & I have heard no uproar over those being 'pagan' practices. All he seems to be describing is exactly the same as many funeral memorials held by Christians all over America. When I went to collect and bury my own mother ( who was Christian) Two Preachers were present and they played her favorite gospel records at her memorial. Quite common & not out of the ordinary at all. Seems ' Much Ado About Nothing ' to me. And even if a whole gathering of 'Pagans' does decide to play Cat Stevens at their gatherings it only means they have good taste in music
