That’s because protestant church services don’t have near the Scripture of a Catholic mass.

...protestant church services don’t have near the Scripture of a Catholic mass

Says the man who said a scant twelve hours ago that

“I wouldn’t know since I have never been to a protestant service..."

Here’s something much more important. How they respond to scripture. Scripture says.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God

But the Catholic Church says.

“We need not shrink from admitting that candles, like incense and lustral water, were commonly employed in pagan worship and the rites paid to the dead. But the Church from a very early period took them into her service, just as she adopted many other things indifferent in themselves, which seemed proper to enhance the splendor of religious ceremonial. We must not forget that most of these adjuncts to worship, like music, lights, perfumes, ablutions, floral decorations, canopies, fans, screens, bells, vestments etc. were not identified with any idolatrous cult in particular; but they were common to almost all cults” (Catholic Encyclopedia, III, 246.)

Don’t try to get me down some rabbit trail of “we have more” when the Catholic Church doesn’t care a wit about what God says.

Which you have yet to prove.

Not to mention that I daresay, the average poster on these threads probably gets more Scripture in one day than your average Catholic gets in mass in a year.
