Does Singing Priest Get Your Irish Up? Or Is Mass For Celebrating With Song?

When Father Ray Kelly surprised a wedding couple with a unique rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," it was the priest who was eventually blown away — by nearly 30 million views of his performance on Youtube.

We posted the latest viral video out of Northern Ireland as a way to ask about favorite wedding songs, but while most people praised the priest, a handful commented that such a performance was unbefitting of a house of God.

Which raises a question as Christians prepare to celebrate Easter Sunday:

• Was the priest's performance a fitting gift to the surprised couple and appropriate for a wedding celebration? Or should churches be more subdued places reserved for contemplation? Tell us in comments below.
