I don’t mind it. You being Catholic should make it pretty easy. I attended Baptist, non-denominational & Pentecostal churches as a child & they tried to tell me what to believe & think. Many of the anti-religion/atheists today are the same. You’re golden as long as you believe & think like they do. But attending Catholic mass is cool. The Catholic places I visit give the 2 readings from the Bilbe, a paragraph from one of the Gospels for members of the congregation to contemplate. Then a short verbal message from the padre & that’s it. They keep it pretty mainstream imo. I learned to tune out the judgemental types while attending a bunch of crazy churches as a kid, that skill has helped me immensely as an adult. Reasoned & thoughtfull is the way to go, screw the haters from extremes imo.
