Four years ago I wrote of serious problems concerning David Haas, a fairly popular "katholyc" composer. As you see in the comments section of that post, quite the discussion ensued. His music was published in GIA Publications - until recently.
GIA suspended their relationship with Haas, as allegations of sexual misconduct were resported against him. Apparently the number of allegations is still growing. See this post from GIA's facebook wall for more details.
It appears that we have an example of the principle, "lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivandi". Someone who holds beliefs at variance with God's revealed truth will most likely live their lives in disobedience to those truths.
GIA is suspending their relationship with Haas. I strongly suggest that all Catholic music directors remove Haas' works from their repertoires. They should also be mindful of the composers' obedience (or lack thereof) to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Gay-Pandering In The Catholic Church
Almost three years ago I wrote this post regarding gay-pandering David Haas. Today it is still quite relevant, if not more so now than then. LifeSiteNews captured a screen shot of his facebook page, in which he announced, and I quote, "For Pride Month, last night I composed a Taize’-like (ostinato) refrain, based on Psalm 139, 13-14". In other words, he twisted Sacred Scripture to celebrate the mortal sin of sodomy. It seems like the distortion of Scripture is quite the fad these days in progressive circles, but I digress.
That post has been deleted (I wonder why!), but there remains this gem from Fr James Martin that he shared to his wall. Unfortunately he is not the only one who slobbers over James Martin. On Good Friday of 2017, Wuerl invited Martin to preach on Good Friday at St Matthew's Cathedral. Later he was invited to lecture at the Theological College at Catholic University; faithful Catholics were successful in putting the kibosh on that debacle; read here. Under Archbishop Gregory, we have indications that we can only expect more gay-pandering, as he did in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. I wonder if we can expect gay propaganda now in the Catholic Standard. If so, they will hear from us.
For now, I'd suggest that faithful music directors expunge David Haas from their repertoires. If that doesn't happen, faithful Catholics should simply refuse to sing his dribble.

Dissident Hymnast David Haas Coming To Maryland
I just received word that David Haas is scheduled to give a concert at St. Ignatius of Loyola in Ijamsville, MD. It will happen Friday November 9 at 8pm. See here why David Haas and his "works" have no place whatsoever in Catholic worship. Here is the announcement from the church's facebook page. Let's contact them to cancel. If they won't, we'll consider a picket..

David Haas, Gay-Shilling Dissident
Today's communion hymn was a diddy written by David Haas. I refused to sing it. Let me remind my readers of the reasons why.
Again, I'd advise readers to peruse the hymn selections during the few minutes before Mass, lest you find yourselves singing songs written by someone who is a dissident and possibly a pervert.

Why I Will Never Again Sing Anything By David Haas
I was alerted to his problems by Eponymous Flower and Tantumblogo. The latter had a picture of a facebook entry so I decided to look at Haas' facebook page myself. Sure enough, it's full of gay-enabling and climate-change shilling crap. See:

Given his obvious sympathies for gay perverted sexuality, may we believe that he's the same David Haas who at one time was on the Board of Directors for the Long Island Gay Men's Chorus?
Perhaps some choir directors don't know these details about Haas, although he makes no secret of them on the facebook page. Perhaps they should do some "due-diligence" work on song authors before they use their pieces and lend credibility to their dissidence and heresies.
