He realized the urge to inject more African Cu lture into Catholic worship to revitalize the Liturgy and Mass. In a solo e ffort\, he started a revolution in the Church’s music in Ghana by initially replacing the “Old Latin Hymns” with traditional tunes accompanied by Afri can percussion instruments. As his determination persisted\, he found himse lf in the greatest imbroglio as some church elders and musicians cast insin uations for what they believed to be the anti-Christ (Catholic). Coincident ally at this very time\, there was an Apostolic Constitution decree from Ro me on liturgical reforms to fit and blend other non–Latin traditions\, cult ures\, and music.
