[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every once in a while our minister asks those raised Catholic to raise their hands. Half of a very large congregation raises their hands. It is a Methodist church. DH was raised Catholic and liberal and has found the Methodists who lean more liberal to be a welcoming place.

If you miss the mass ritual then a Methodist service could be difficult. It's interesting, I find the Catholic mass to be quite shallow and repetitive and placed the priest between the congregant and God, despite it being centuries old - at least during the years I went in my 20s - some 20 years ago. I guess it all depends on what you grow up with.

Unitarians are very inclusive of other religious traditions FWIW.[/quote]

I find it very unusual, possibly weird, that a minister asks the congregation who was raised in a specific different religion.  What is the minister trying to accomplish through this exercise?

It is jarring to hear the Catholic mass described as shallow.  Calling the consecration shallow seems....well, shallow.[/quote]

The way some priests say the mass, like they're bored stuff, can be pretty shallow. [/quote]
