OK so why don’t you equip your Catholic church buildings with sound booths...
You haven’t been in a typical Southern Baptist church at least. (As one example... I’m not setting up any denomination as special, just pointing out where the purest worship happens in the current age.) They’re quite respectful... AND clear. And their aspiration for holiness is aimed at the Lord and all congregants know it and they rejoice together. If YOU view it as “trying to out-holy” then look at YOUR eyes.
Again, microphones are used at Mass so we can all hear. We can also read along. I’m not sure what sound booths have to do with it. We hear what goes on on the altar.
I’m sure a lot of Baptists are trying to be holy. I just know the Catholic form of worship, tradition, and teaching are most like what Christ taught his disciples. I find the ancient format and prayers to be nourishing.
Aspiring for holiness does not have to be loud, harmonic, showy, or strident. It can be quiet, solitary, plain, and gentle... like Jesus Himself.
When Christ was asked how we should pray, He gave us the Lord’s Prayer. He didn’t yell it, sing it in harmony, put in a lot of wordy “Lord, I just...”.
Scripture does not say he swayed, danced, yelled, had an exaggerated expression of raptness on His face, or expected His apostles to chime in with Amens or Hallelujahs.
The way to pray that Our Lord taught us was a simple, solemn, direct, and reverent method. Again, Catholics are closer to this in our prayers than many other religions.
