Music has a profound effect on man as it is a 'language' which speaks directly to the soul. It can be used to bring order to man, refresh the human soul, and glorify God. Yet the devils can also pervert it to bring disorder, arouse the passions, and lead man into much sin and immorality. Studies have shown that music even affects plants and animals! Ancient traditions recount how bad music led the sons of Seth into sin, and we know it played a role in the quintessential idolatry of the golden calf. St. Peter Claver, not unlike Our Lord cleansing the Temple, would prevent his converts from returning to the drums and bad dancing by pulling out his scourge to break up their immoral gatherings and destroy their drums. Would that we had a 'Whip of St. Peter Claver' in our lives and homes today!
