I'm not Catholic but enjoy their sense of tradition.
I attended a Pentacostal service for the first time in my life last Sunday here in Nashville at Cornerstone church.
I am unaccustomed to the quite modern music and expression and yes ...even one case of speaking in tongues which was quickly explained later to all of we visitors. I swear I heard some Ladino in the gibberish....but anyhow.
The preacher....an ex-convict from over 2 decades ago and born again preached the most socially conservative sermon I have heard since adulthood. He made me want to get up and shout a few Hallelujahs...lol.....spot on across the board.
So refreshing from all the apostate Protestant service I normally run across amongst your liberal "be nice is all that matters" crowd in middle and upper middle class environs.
I'm not sure I'd go every weekend.. ..a 2 hour service as well, but it was very inspiring. I would recommend any FReeper in middle Tennessee/SE Kenticky to try it....I-65 north at Old Hickory Blvd.
He has taken a 200 congregation and turned it into a 2500-3000 per Sunday church...incredible...some folks are hungry for the word.
just my 2 bits....more power to Catholics to cling to their traditions and purge the homosexuals!

I enjoy spontanteous worship and dancing. Our kids do it in church and it's wonderful to see them expressing their devotion this way. Not all of them know exactly what's going on but they're "worshipers in training," and when their parents get up in front and join them, it's just great. There has to be order to everything that goes on but God enjoys having us praise and worship Him this way. Mxxx
