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

Go for it. Mel Gibson does the Latin mass thing. It's beautiful. They've got golden idols, exotic incense smoke, angelic choirs, magic boxes where you can get rid of all your sins, and the outfits are great. The biggest mistake the Roman Catholics ever made was Vatican II. Getting rid of the Latin mass was a mistake. Religion needs mystery. It's an emotional experience.

Yeah, like I said, any time I went to Catholic services found it very beautiful
