Jesuit pope no singa the mass

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Of course not. Jesuits don’t sing:

The spokesman recently joked that there was a saying about Jesuits, that a Jesuit “‘nec rubricat, nec cantat,’ meaning Jesuits are famed for not being enthusiastic about liturgical song or experts in detailed liturgical rubrics.”

Yes. “As confused as a Jesuit in Holy Week” was another saying, Holy Week being a time of complicated and extended worship services.
