Anything may be used for good or for bad, the abuse of something does not negate its proper use, and therefore, I would not condemn music itself as being intrinsically wrong, but when it is used or composed towards a bad purpose, then, of course, that particular use of it would indeed be considered a sin, I suspect. However, I believe that so long as it is kept to its proper use, either liturgically, or in clean entertainment, that it is not directed towards sin.

I'm sure music was part of the wedding feast at cana, and I don't read of it being condemned.

I have restricted myself to listening for the most part only to liturgical chant for some time now. I do tend to experience most secular music as impeding my spiritual progress. I almost immediately notice that my senses rebel against the tranquility of my spirit when I listen to it, so I decided that I should move away from most of it.

I do not have a vast knowledge of what the fathers taught regarding this subject, though. It is interesting nevertheless.

With that I mean secular music that does not contain manifestly sinful concepts. Most of today's secular music is saturated with the vile spirit of satan anyway. Every traditional catholic knows he or she has to stay away from the latter.
