It was the Ripley Wayfarers (I think) some 35 years ago that sang the Blacksmith to the Pilgrim tune. As one who never believed a word of religion beyond the day I was old enough to think about it, I can't honestly get too worked up, anyway Catholic hymns didn't get too much of the folk thing, that was an Anglican and Methodist heist. We got Cardinal Newman and high Victorian romanticism instead.

I suppose I don't sing religious songs (including Gospel) in the same way that I don't sing hunting songs- it's something that we've happily grown out of, and I don't like saying I agree with something when I don't.
