When we were doing the folk masses back in the 70's, those of us involved did not see it as "entertainment." We saw it as getting involved and passionate about the worship, and we saw it as "celebrating" the mass instead of just being a spectator or drone or, worse, falling asleep. I wanted to take part in my religion, not be preached to all the time. In that respect....I know a lot of Catholics who were happier in Protestant churches not because they felt it was further from Christ, but because they felt they were more involved in the worship.
