Combining Protestant and Catholic Church Services

Even though it might not seem possible, the main two divisions of Christianity each have their own differences. Each Sunday Catholics gather in their churches, listen to their Priest give a homily, celebrate the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and then leave the Mass at the end. On the other hand, Protestant church services are much different. There is much more music involved as a whole and the Pastor seems to speak longer and is generally more interesting.

Is there any possible way to bring a true union to the two Christian denominations and have one big church service every weekend? After all, Catholics and Protestants are all Christians; shouldn't they all be in union with each other? On the contrary, though, it seems as though the two denominations are severely divided, not over their basic beliefs in Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity, but in some aspects of their theology, doctrine, and components of their belief system.

There are several things, however, that could be done if the Protestant and Catholic Church services were given a chance to have one single and large church service in union with each other. They involve coming into agreement on several issues, but it would serve well in the end if the larger Christian Church could celebrate the fact that they believe in Jesus Christ and his Resurrection.

Church Services More Lively

On the whole, Protestant church services seem to be more lively than Catholic services. In order for Catholics and Protestants to come together to worship in one large service, more contemporary Christian worship music should be used. Some of the complaints that Protestants have against the Catholic Mass is that it seems too somber and not lively enough. Even though the somber attitude of the Catholic Mass is a tradiitonal one, would it hurt for the Catholic Mass to be livened at all? If it was, Protestants and Catholics certainly could agree on more contemporary music to use in their services.
