Is The Mass Just "Going Through the Motions?" (#347)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Why does the Mass feel so formal, and how can you love it? In this episode, Greg responds to Darcy, a 25-year-old evangelical exploring Catholicism, who’s struggling with the Mass’s structure—repetition, kneeling, and call-and-response. He unpacks why our culture overvalues spontaneity, how the Mass’s form protects truth, and why the early Church wasn’t as “casual” as we think. With practical tips and answers to common questions, Greg helps listeners embrace the liturgy’s beauty. [DONATE WITH PAYPAL] so more people can consider Catholicism!
