Watched some Russian Orthodox liturgy on YouTube. It was a lot longer then the RC liturgy but beautiful, majestic and spiritually stirring, all things in praise of God should be. Sometimes at an RC Mass I feel like it’s a drive thru service. Just a lot of talk and gestures. God forgive me but I just might consider converting.

I believe most Orthodox liturgies are similarly beautiful, and Eastern Catholic as well. We Roman Catholics have lost a lot since Vatican II

As a Catholic, I don't see you moving to an Orthodox Church as "converting", but more as "moving within the One Church" -- the Orthodox are our spiritual brothers in Christ and we are all "we" :)

Have you ever been to a traditional Latin Mass?

The Mrs. and I felt the exact same way. We've been members of traditional parishes for 12 years now and haven't looked back. We got married in the old rite, baptized all our kids in it, and attend it almost exclusively, even though we have had to drive almost an hour each way to get to one.

It's that worth it.

Look for a Tridentine Mass in your area. If you can't find one at a diocesan parish you're perfectly within your rights to attend an SSPX Chapel.

I'm blessed to attend a Tridentine High Mass every week and I can't imagine having to go to the Novus Ordo.

Why don’t you just look for a Catholic Church with a traditional liturgy. Some offer the Latin Mass for example, which has expanded greatly the past few years. Do a Google search if you wish.
