I love this rendention of the “Battle Hymn”. I enjoy hearing it at patriotic events, on the 4th etc. But, as a Catholic I find it offensive as used for a welcoming song for the Holy Father. This country has many other native hymns and spirituals which I believe would be more appropriate for a Man of Peace.
