Was raised protestant, with some Catholic family so I have attended services before, making Catholic services extremely fascinating and exotic to me (was a pallbearer at one a few years ago - some mafia there, but I'm not Italian). Only attended one mass with Catholic friends in high school on one of their youth group retreats - believe I took communion though Protestants are usually not permitted. More of a Deist now, but my faith is complicated - just got back from my non denominational Church. Went to a funeral for a bartender friend who drank himself to death last fall, just took the blessing. Did do the cross with holy water when exiting.

What should I expect if I go to a Latin mass?

/U/AOU move to religion if necessary

Aside from my , accepting Mary as "co-redemptrix" is not required of Catholics. We have a high view of Mary, but that particular belief is still being debated. What we mean by it at least on the surface though is that through her cooperation with the Holy Spirit all men were redeemed and without it all men would not have been saved. Personally, I'm still not sold on the idea, but have no strong opinion. Either way, it doesn't look like it will ever be a required dogma.

Most faithful Catholics recognize the intrinsic evil of sodomy and abortion, and for a number of reasons, the percentage of faithful Catholics attending the TLM is much higher than a Novus Ordo parish.

My suggestion is to look at the or the . You can also check out the Eastern Catholic liturgies at .
