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

The catholic church is Christs enemy. They are the "beast of many waters" that scripture warns will have a "mark" of authority enforced.

Unwise to attend.

It is satans church.

I like the pre Vatican 2 Catholics though

The ones who burned people at the stake? Or the ones who paid to sin (indulgences)? Perhaps the ones who made it a crime to own a bible?

It has always been satans church.

In modern terms. But yes, I'm aware, whore of Babylon and such

If that's true, you're part evil - the rest of us can see through it, why can't you?

Eh. I don't wanna attack the Catholics here. Of course I have a protestant lens of the whore of Babylon.
