Is this the same Brian Michael Page of Danny Boy fame? Could it be the same Brian Michael Page who is pastored by Fr. Peter Andrews, also by Danny Boy fame? -- By Danny Boy fame, I mean publically denounced having the song be allowed at funeral Masses.
Oh yes - we did create quite the stink a few years back now didn't we. :) In fact, click here a post from early 2005 that revisits my little 2001 missives.
I don't, nor ever did, work for Fr. Andrews. His parish isn't far from mine, however. I work (very happily) for Fr. Jay Finelli, aka the iPadre. At the time I wrote the missives, Fr. Andrews was director for the diocesan Office of Worship.
Do I know you from somewhere, angell?
Peace,
