How about a contest to see whose religious tradition supports a constitutional representative republic in the USA better, and can bring this country back from socialism faster?

Because even if you restrict "Catholic" to weekly attendees, which Rome does not, then you already lost the contest. At least pitting one RC mass, with perhaps a priest who is persuades to actually quote a lot or Bible texts, against any Prot service offers some contrived, if basically meaningless, chance of winning.

Catholic priests have ZERO leeway in adding or subtracting from the liturgy.

Daily Mass is no different from Sunday mass in that tha priest cannot change add or subtract one word from what is printed for the liturgy of that day.

At the very most the priest has a couple of choices of different passages to read which would not amount to 100 words if that.

Silly protestants you don’t even know that every word of a Catholic mass is printed in the daily/Sunday missal.

If you wanted to know exactly what your up against just look it up in the missal.

The funny thing is even the fallen away Catholics didn’t bring that up lots of help and insight they are.
