A Christmas cd that the Pope has

I hope you all are having a prayerful Advent. While procrastinating from writing various papers recently, I found a Christmas cd which I believe the Holy Father MUST have in his collection. Why, you ask? Because the entire cd is done by the Regensburger Domspatzen directed by none other than the Papal big brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger. Surely Pope Benedict must listen to this during the Christmas season (which I know we have not yet reached).

I have not listened to this yet - in fact I just ordered it - but it has to be good.

We’d be most grateful if you would post about three forthcoming Latin Masses in Ireland:

Also, we’d be very grateful if you would put our blog on your list of blogs.

God bless you!

just discovered your blog and I'm lovin' it.
This is not the only Christmas CD of Father George. Sorry I dont have it with me at this time so I can't give the important info on it. I had it for years --- imagine the surprise after Papa Joe was elected, and the press mentioned his brother the music director!!!
BTW, the first Christmas album is phenomenal. I have a gazillion Christmas albums but the Ratzinger album rates right up there (to me) with the Jessye Norman CD and the old Joan Baez 'Noel' album (now also on CD)
