Pastoral Letter from Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil (Jan. 14th 2007)

Venerable Brothers and Beloved Children,

The Catholic Church has always considered its tradition regarding liturgical music as a priceless treasure. More than any other artistic expression, music is held in great esteem in the Church. 

The Constitution on Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council reminds us that music is given an exalted position in liturgy because sacred music forms an inseparable and indispensable part of the liturgy (SC 112).
