Oosterhuis songs banned

Two Dutch dioceses put some songs by Huub Oosterhuis prohibited. The reported KATH NEWS recently. Now you have the ban - as any such action - see differentiated: of course there are Huub Oosterhuis successful and very beautiful songs. However, some are less, in which God is not present or present the banal Antropozentrik that do not fit the character of the celebration. Naturally, the in Oosterhuis' personal background. I quote from the Wikipedia article :

Oosterhuis was a Jesuit, Catholic priest and university chaplain in Amsterdam. His extensive poetic work and his contributions to the renewal of liturgy and congregational singing since 1967, also found widespread use in German translation. Since 1969, he turned to the Reformed Church, why not use his songs in the Catholic Church in the Netherlands without controversy is.

Oosterhuis played in the seventies of the 20th Century an important role in the development of the "free liturgy" practice, which sometimes replaced in liturgical Bible readings by working groups developed interpretation stories, and where the Eucharist was no longer understood as a sacrament. In the formulation of prayer texts were quite daring new approaches, such as in Oosterhuis' Eucharistic prayer for agnostics, "come Lord, if You exist, so then in our midst" (Dutch: "Heer, bestaat as U, complex dan onder ons ").

Oosterhuis seems to me after the very successful work of his early period, an almost textbook case of post-conciliar faith to be emptied. Hence his work is not to condemn, but to be treated with caution. I would like to see this caution also collects in places - with episcopal consent - still very critical to deal with the questionable works Oosterhuis, 'as the SMALL CHURCH in Osnabrück.
