I admit I’m not Catholic, and I don’t understand worship that I can’t... well, understand.

Having said that, traditional worship is traditional for a reason. And that’s because it’s tried and tested, and it works!

"I admit I’m not Catholic, . . ."

That's Ok, there's really no such thing as a Catholic Caucus thread and no such thing as a rule against personal attacks, either. (Not that I'm accusing you of making a personal attack, just making a point with regard to there being rules and then there being "rules")

Generally only newbies and kids can't understand. Latin-English Missals tell you everything you need to know, and of course if you have a Catholic education you are taught all the various parts of the Mass and what they mean. The text doesn't change much week to week so it's easy to follow. And then you also learn Latin along the way. If you are used to singing "Adeste Fideles" or "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" or "Veni Emmanuel" at Christmas time, it's very much like that.

Bingo...you nailed it! Been working for 1500 years at least. :)
