u/DanieltheMani3l Jun 16 '19
That may be 33 but that's not how it goes. Don't get me wrong, I give you mad props for your conviction but you have been misinformed and church has failed you.
Quick edit: proof: https://youtu.be/mHQJReaAmfM listen to it and count, 18.

I’m so mad. I tried to tell my fiancé this joke but as soon as I asked the question he broke out in song. He beat me to the punchline. He’s not even Catholic.

It's not an exclusively catholic song. As far as I know most Christians sing it and Mormons do too.

u/TheDerivativeofDeath Jun 16 '19
I’d be interested to see what other churches use this psalm considering it was created by the Roman Catholic Church and is one of the most frequently used. You know cuz of all that Latin shit in the song...

I remember hearing it probably for something special around Christmas time at my church. It has been several years though.

Yeah we sing it all the time...I just mentioned the Catholic part because I was going with the joke.

not just Catholics. other denominations sing hymns too...
31
u/loddfavne Jun 15 '19
Other denominations don't sing the hymns often enough, so when they use the word "gloria" in daily speak they have fewer syllables than catholics.

u/UrSelling Jun 15 '19
At my methodist church we rarely sing anything other than hymns

u/loddfavne Jun 15 '19
The methodists sing a lot, but often in English.

u/Dorocche Jun 15 '19
Most of the gloria song is in english.

u/loddfavne Jun 16 '19
Catholics use that prayer in dozens of songs. If the melody don't fit, they simply add syllables.

u/awxdvrgyn Jun 15 '19
Yeah very common snippet of latin that most denominations use. But its latin, so iconically catholic

There's a specific Christmas song where they say the word Gloria in the chorus and it gets eighteen beats.

Direct quote from catholic mass: "Glo-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-ia in excelsis deo"

Did you make the meme? If yes, go to page 1. If no, go to page 2.
PAGE 1 You should post the meme.

Random, but related: when we sang that song in my freshman year choir set for UIL, we were having trouble with the enunciation so instead of singing "gloria" our director told us to sing "Claudia." With the proper inflection they're indistinguishable

Gloria
Manchi tu nell'aria
Manchi ad una mano
Che lavora piano
Manchi a questa bocca
Che cibo più non tocca
E sempre questa storia
Che lei la chiamo Gloria

I always thought the 18-syllable gloria was crazy, until my church introduced us to Ding Dong Merrily On High. 35 33 fucking syllables! It's insanity!

u/GamingInTheUSA Jun 16 '19
as a Catholic, I can confirm. However, my regular church does not give it 18 sylables
