POPE WANTS NO ROCKING IN THE AISLES

The current Pope's dislike of rock music is well-documented, so it's probably not surprising that he's trying to make sure guitars are kept well out of the churches he's responsible for:

The occasion of a concert in the Sistine chapel was chosen by the Pope to speak out. "It is possible to modernise holy music," he conceded, "but it should not happen outside the traditional path of Gregorian chants or sacred polyphonic choral music".

He's got a point - pleasant music might get in the way of the feelings of guilt and impotence.
