I once found myself at a LifeTeen Mass on an out-of-town visit. Ouch! Very noisy, lots of clapping and grooving with the music . . . it seemed a lot more like a rock concert than church. And I LIKE rock concerts, been to a lot of them over the years, but not in church!
The old-timey Lutherans (at least the LCMS types) have a lot more in common with the Catholics than you would think.

I think they actually were a bit embarrassed by the whole Martin Luther nailing his protest to the door thing, but they hate to make more of a fuss than has already been done. All we can do now is calm down, have some lunch and try to enjoy the rest of the day. :~)

I went to a Lutheran wedding once and it was very much like a Catholic Mass.
