Pope Pius XII Quotes

Thus, To Cite Some Instances, One Would Be Straying From The Straight Path Were He To Wish The Altar Restored To Its Primitive Table Form; Were He To Want Black Excluded As A Color For The Liturgical Vestments; Were He To Forbid The Use Of Sacred Images And Statues In Churches; Were He To Order The Crucifixes Designed That The Divine Redeemer's Body Shows No Trace Of His Cruel Sufferings; Lastly Were He To Disdain And Reject Polyphonic Music Or Singing In Parts, Even Where It Conforms To Regulations Issued By The Holy See.
