Priest Fury As Carols Go woke

[AlanRickman1946]

Cardinal Vincent Nichols said preserving the traditional songs was more important than ‘sensitivities which come and go’.

 

His comments came after a Church of England carol service sparked outrage by featuring an ‘inclusive’ version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.

 

The original is 

 

God rest ye merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

 

 

The updated verses of the 17th-century carol included the lines ‘God rest you also, women, who by men have been erased’ and ‘God rest you, queer and questioning’.

He's right. A classic is a classic. Would you change the "if you're a boy or a girl" lyric of Madonna's Vogue? I think not!

‘God rest you, queer and questioning’
 

Finally I can rest

“Sensitivities which come and go” is a bit 

 

I do agree that the lyrics change was just a tad forced. I can guarantee most gays don’t give a **** about a Christmas carol titled ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman’
