In fact, in the year 2000, Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger, wrote: “‘ Rock ’ [music] is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. ” ​ — The Spirit of the Liturgy.
Aastal 2000 kirjutas paavst Benedictus XVI, tollal kardinal Ratzinger, järgmist: „Rokk on ürgsete kirgede väljendus ning rokkfestivalidel omandab see kultusliku staatuse, jumalakummardamisvormi, mis tegelikult on otse vastupidine kristlikule jumalakummardamisele. ” ( „The Spirit of the Liturgy ”.)
