I have been attending Mass for some time now as part of RCIA. My first impression of Mass was that it was way too protestant. It makes me uncomfortable. I go to the Extraordinary mass when I don’t have RCIA; like today. I prefer it to the ordinary. I don’t even mind that it is in mostly in another language.
I have been reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994 version of the Green book. I have read almost 590 of the 688 pages. I say almost because I could not finish the section on Social Justice. I see why so many Catholics are involved in leftest politics after reading the book. Where is addresses theology, it is beautiful and it has helped me understand some things. I am thinking that I will read the Trent Catechism and go by that one. The current one just bothers me so much. It is not in keeping with Catholic Tradition.
It should bother you. Only pre-Vatican II catechisms are Catholic.
Then done try to read the bible; for it doesn't either.
I am thinking that I will read the Trent Catechism and go by that one.

The Trent Catechism is the gold standard for the exposition of Catholic doctrine. Follow it “religiously” and you will be practicing the Catholic faith precisely as Christ, the Apostles, and the Doctors of the Church preached it. Every edition of the catechism published thereafter is, to one extent or another, unreliable, and that is especially true regarding that which was published following Satan’s Council.
