[quote=Anonymous]Op here - I mentioned that we went to Little Flower and were very satisfied with a sung mass. The attendees did not seem particularly energized and we didn't get the sense of great joy or excitement about the joyful occasion but that's ok. I assume it's a cultural difference.

Unfortunately, I cannot disclose the country my parents are from but can cite some differences:

1. Christmas and Easter usually see almost 100% of the population attending churches. You can hardly find a spot to stand in and around a church.
2. There is a great spirit of joy for Christmas and a solemn spirit on Easter. People are really into it.
3. Many people, including the young, take fasting and prayer seriously.
4. Many young people choose life of service to the Lord.
5. Sex abuse scandals are not widespread and those that are known of are swiftly dealt with.
6. Most priest are well respected and priesthood is regarded as a holy vocation that one is called upon.
7. Politics, including political correctness, are kept out a mass.
8. There is a great support of Culture of Life, among both young and old.
9. Sacraments such as baptism and marriage are taken seriously.
10. People are rarely cremated after death.[/quote]
