The Age reported the Pope, in an address to bishops and priest as St Peter’s Basillica, wanted to recommence using the Gregorian chant and baroque music as he believes there needs to be "continuity with tradition in prayers and music.”
Since the announcement, the Gregorian chant has been reinstituted as the primary form of singing by the new choir director of St Peter's, Father Pierre Paul.
