From the welcoming ceremony for Benedict XVI at the White House the other day, the U.S. Army Chorus sings The Battle Hymn of The Republic:
I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

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.
