I do often wonder at a near complete lack of traditional catholic hymns. Instead we either borrow from protestants or endure uninspired tripe by a handful of near heretics from the 1970-80's

There is an abundance of Catholic hymns in Latin dating back over 1000 years! Unfortunately, they are sorely underappreciated in most parishes today.

There is also a strong tradition of English Catholic hymns which is, again, oft-neglected.
