Protestant here, and I find Catholics ignorant of the life of Jesus. The sermons in our church focus a great deal on Jesus and the life and politics of the Jews.  Often they don't even understand how Palm Sunday and Passover are related. Catholics services are all pomp and circumstance with little religious meat. [/quote]

I'm Catholic and my husband is Evangelical Christian. We have this debate all the time. He expects his church's Sunday service to be practically a Bible study and to feed him information. He brings his Bible and his notebook and takes notes the whole time (when they're not singing, which seems never-ending). He doesn't understand that a Catholic Mass is first and foremost about worshiping God, and the primary focus is not his own religious education. Yes, the priest might use his homily to explain something, but it's 20 mins, not an hour and it's not the whole reason we're there. Mass is not about us, it's about Him.

Just a different way of worshiping.[/quote]

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing that perspective, I'd not encountered it before but I think it's really helpful.[/quote]
