FatherMcManuscontinues:
"1.In1969theNationalConferenceof CatholicBishopsdecreed:
"'Theoffertorysongneednotspeakof breadandwineorofoffering.Theproper functionofthe'offertorysongisratherto accompanyandcelebratethecommunal aspectsoftheprocession.
"'Thetext,therefore,maybeanappropriate songofpraiseorofrejoicinginkeepingwith theseason. Thosetextsamnotacceptable whichspeakoftheofferingcompletelyapart from.theactionofChrist.

"'Dotingtheremainderofthechurchyear, however,topicalsongsmaybeusedduringthe offertoryprocession,'providedthatthesetexts donotconflictwiththepaschalcharacterof everySunday(ConstitutionontheLiturgy, art.102,106)'."
"2.In1968theU.S.Bishops'Committee hadmadethesamepoint,withsomeelaboration:
"'Theprocessioncanbeaccompaniedby song.Songisnotalwaysnecessaryordesirable.Organorinstrumentalmusicisalso fittingatthistime.Thesongneednotspeak ofbreadorwineoroffering.
"'Theproperfunctionofthissongisto accompanyandcelebratethecommunal aspectsoftheprocession.Thetext,therefore, canbeanyappropriatesongofpraiseorof rejoicinginkeepingwiththeseason.(See approvedcriterionabove.)
