I bounced around through NO Catholic, Protestant and the Orthodox Churches for a while before almost entirely giving up on established Christianity. Some were better than others, but I had not really come across one that struck me as being significant in any way. The modern Protestants are pretty much just a Jesus fan club, usually ripe with theological inaccuracies. The Orthodox, as I have said before, are still very mad about the schism. The Greek Orthodox Church seemed to me to be more of a novelty. It was interesting, but their mass did not seem legitimate in my heart. Furthermore.. They had a woman speak during the mass.

I finally managed to go to a Latin Mass and it was like stepping back in time. 80% of the women were wearing head coverings and dresses. The Mass took place in a musty 150 year old church in the middle of farm country, decorated much more humbly than the Orthodox, but actually appearing as a church unlike the Protestants'. The place was packed with babies. Some of these people had 5 or more kids. I couldn't understand a word the Priest was saying. Not a single one of these people was fat. Some were overweight but not fat.

The mass itself actually resonated with my heart and I took the Eucharist for the first time in my free thinking life.. instead of just pocketing it like I've done at the other churches. It sort of made me ill for some reason so idk if I'll take it again but I tried.

7/10 experience, would recommend.

Novus Ordo, it is what most Catholic parishes would be considered post Vatican 2. Some NO churches are awesome and have devout priests, and others are terrible it can be VERY hit and miss.
