Yes, that's true. I was confirmed Catholic, however. Funny that I do feel that matters.

indeed. What I raised was sort of outside the point of what you were saying - Sorry, I do that sometimes.

Does observance of the ritual imply a need of participation? could you feel fulfilled in that ritual just by seeing others partake in it?

I enjoy a Catholic Mass and I'm no Catholic.

Agreed - And not just Catholic ones, and not just the ritual. I mean, who doesn't love some of the most famous classical pieces of all time?

Vivaldi - Gloria

Mozart - Requiem Mass

Bach's B Minor Mass

and, a personal favourite, Brahms Deutsche Requiem
