I just heard on [the loopCast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/72M8UH1L74eYIRfh2R9Ngn?si=8875c901459745a0) that the Jefferson diocese banned the following hymns from use at churches:
- All Are Welcome
- Ashes
- Bread of Life
- Celtic Alleluia
- Covenant Hymn
- For the Healing of the Nations
- God Has Chosen Me
- Haleluya! We Sing Your Praises
- Led By the Spirit
- Many and Great
- Table of Plenty
- Three Days

I understand the banned composers are under suspicion of some sort of malfeasance, but what was the reason for banning these songs? I don't love many of them, but I do love "Table of Plenty" - especially the John Michael Talbot version. Are these songs just bad for liturgy or are they bad in general? And what in particular is bad about each of these songs?
