Roman Catholic AnswerYes, the Roman Rite has always been built around song, although in years past, Low Mass (a totally spoken Mass with no music) became the norm. The new Missal which was issued for Advent 2011 contains more music directly in the Missal than any other Missal in 2000 years of history.

Do Catholics sing protestant hymns?

Yes. There is really no difference between Catholic hymns & Protestant hymns. Both Protestants and Catholics are Christians. Catholics have some extra ones that have to do with the Eucharist, Mary, & other Catholic beliefs, but Catholics and Protestants share the majority of hymns. For example, did you know that the popular song "Your Grace is Enough" was originally written by a Catholic? Chris Tomlin, the artist most people think wrote the song, borrowed and adapted parts of the melody of it from Catholic singer Matt Maher. Catholic and Protestant artists and composers borrow songs from each other and share them with the general public both in CD form and in hymnals for church.

Why do you sing tauntum ergo?

It's spelled with only one 'U' -- Tantum Ergo --- even though it is pronounced like "taunt" in English. Latin 'a' is broad. We sing it at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, a devotion of the Roman Catholic Church. It can also be spoken, but I think that's rather uncommon. Not that I'm an expert. Here's a Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benediction_of_the_Blessed_Sacrament However, Wikipedia is NOT authoritative regarding Catholic doctrine. I cite this particular article because it has a lot of photos, and the information looks pretty accurate. Benediction is a Catholic devotion, not really a matter of doctrine. For the authoritative information on the Roman Catholic Church doctrine or dogma, you would go to the Vatican's own English website, or the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops --- usccb.org. There are many Catholic resources online. EWTN's website is a good place to start, also. They have televised Benediction on EWTN. You can also find You Tube videos of Benediction, with or without Tantum Ergo.
