You can’t fight protestantizing influences in the liturgy by going to a protestant church. Your sentiments about the value of decorum and solemnity in worship will be much more effective from within the Catholic community. Please come home.
Paul VI posing with six Protestant theologians who were part of the commission encharged with writing the New Mass.
These Protestants were invited by Paul VI in order to make sure that nothing in the New Mass would shock Protestants. It is not surprising that the resulting Novus Ordo Mass has the flavor of Protestantism, the taste of heresy.
"It is psychologically, pastorally, theologically impossible for a Catholic to give up a liturgy that is the very expression and support of his Faith to adopt new rites conceived by heretics without putting his Faith in grave danger. One cannot imitate the Protestants indefinitely and not become a Protestant."(Abp. Lefebvre on the New Mass - Conference From Luthers Evangelical Mass to the Novus Ordo Missae," given in Florence on February 15, 1975)
