If you hadn't seen our lurking about these last few months, we are a band that is doing a parody art project by taking Chinese Communist Party propaganda songs and transforming them into Catholic anthems.  Under Chinese law, none of the tracks we've redeemed are copyrighted but, believe it or not, some have rights reserved in the USA.  We haven't had any issues save for one so far.  And unfortunately it hit us on our first release thus slowing our rollout.  The good news, however, is that after more than one attempt, more than one video on the same song, and more than one communication with BMG music (the copyright holder to a song called "No Communist Party, No New China"), we now have agreement that our rendition with accompanying lyric video is fair use parody and BMG has removed their copyright claim.  

This small victory is just a taste of the ultimate victory the Church will be given over all forms of evil.  While the Chinese Communist Party has prevented or terminated 400 million pregnancies since 1980, the Catholic Church's completely pro-human policies have encouraged a flourishing world.  While the Chinese Communist Party has elevated monsters to power that have destroyed people's rights, the Catholic Church elevates Christ from whom all true freedom comes.  While the Chinese Communist Party's ultimate goal is continuity of their own power, the Catholic Church relies on and grows from the one whom all power comes from.  

Please pray for the Chinese people and their leadership.  (And please be generous with your ears by listening to our songs when you're needing a boost.)

I wrote this song in the Spring of 2020, shortly after everything opened back up after the initial shut down. Being cut off from Mass was terrifying for me. I recognized a temptation, however small it was, to go after something other than God--something I could easily wrap my hands, my head, and maybe even my heart around--to take my mind off the fact that I couldn't have the Eucharist. I knew that I couldn't do that, though, because nothing else could satisfy the way He does. I chose Love when that was scary, hard, and even emotionally painful with everything else going on at the same time.

Hello friends!!!
I wrote this song when I was afraid I had an illusion. We've all been there haven't we?
God reassures us and is bigger than everything

The Catholic Church Is Good

The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is good
She’s how we know we’re leading
Christian lives like we should

Food needs salt
Eyes need light

While sailing on the sea
A ship needs her captain
Just the same the Christian life
It needs to thwart sin

The Catholic Church will lead and make it happen
Will lead us to a win!

The Catholic Church is good
And the Catholic Church was first
By the laying on of hands
Christ’s authority traversed

Through all time
Down the line

“I will call you ‘Rock’
And on this rock I build my Church”

Marx said of religion, “Trash opium”
But Christ beget to Peter
The keys to the kingdom
The keys to the kingdom!

The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is best
The Church preserves the culture
Of the Occident

Greece to Rome
To Washington

To those who say the secular
Can save a nation
We will say just how we got
This culture from its nascence

Two thousand years of Christianization
Evangelization!

The Catholic Church is good
The Church she takes her stand
Protecting life and marriage
And the rights of the working man

The sacred path
Of our saints

To follow Christ is
Following his commands

Give water to the thirsty (Love one another)
Visit those in jail (Love God with all your heart)
We educate the yearning (Go and make disciples)
On a massive scale (From near and far)

So, join us on this trail!
