Oregon Catholic Press (OCP) has finally apologised on August 25 for having used a Mormon figure on the cover of their hymnal,
“We admit our error and we apologise for the cover art on the 2021 Respond & Acclaim and Music Issue.”
OCP admitted having been “unaware of the association with the Mormon angel Moroni,” saying that they “should have done more research” in order to avoid "this embarrassing mistake.”
The image in question was painted in 2017 by a lapsed Catholic who joined the Mormon sect in 1962. It depicts the "angel" Moroni, a figure invented by Mormonism, who on the picture is standing on a golden sphere, blows a horn and carries golden tablets.
On August 24, the publisher still defended the picture calling it an “unspecified angel.” The painting, they said, had been “erroneously labeled” by other websites as Moroni. However, the painter himself called the figure on social media “Angel Moroni.”

Fr. Sticha's point is well founded An "apology" without making amends is no apology at all. They're not "sorry" enough to incur any expenses.
There is indeed 'Angel VIII' on the cover of the songbook. 'Moroni' looks different, see: jorgecocco.com/2019/01/06/angels-collection/

This sentence can also be read as follows: The Sacred Heart says that the CASCADE (Range) will suffer GREAT FALLS (catastrophic quakes); it is the time of BILLINGS, summarizing the lives of the faithful; next year (2021) this songbook will be useless.
Said Moroni is an angel of The Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter-day. On March 18, 2020, there was an earthquake in Salt Lake City (the epicenter was at Magna) and Moroni lost his trumpet [Rev 8: 1]: "And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for half an hour." There was silence on earth as well: the global lockdawn has done it. It is the calm before the storm. Half an hour is half a full time unit. A year is also a complete unit of time, so six months (from March 18) will end on September 18 when the plagues will begin. Why the plagues? God wants to summon people to order, to God's order.
