"But what if I go to a mass, it’s all in some foreign language and I can’t understand what is being taught? Why would I stay?"

The mass is not an educational program like many Protestant services, it is a celebration of worship. You have a responsibility to prepare yourself for participation. It is not difficult to familiarize yourself with the Latin liturgy and its meaning (not simply translation). The Catholic liturgy is rich in symbolism and meanings that are not done justice in English. Besides, the holily will be in English.

I guess I like the Biblical education that I receive in a Protestant Church. You do explain things quite well however. Thank you for that.
