I found that the visit to the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church was interesting. The thing that I enjoyed more than anything was the church itself. I have traveled around Europe and have seen several magnificent Catholic Churches; however I have not had the chance to visit many impressive churches in the United States. I am sure that there are many churches that can compare to those in Europe, but my visit to the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church was my first experience in a church even remotely similar. I love the way in which Catholic churches use artworks as a way to remind people of their duties of a Christian. The ornamentation inside the church is absolutely fantastic.
I do not really consider myself a Christian, but I would consider visiting a Catholic church. I appreciate their emphasis on tradition. I noticed that their some of their hymnals were written in Latin, which indicates to me that there is an emphasis on the importance of history. There is something intriguing about the Catholic Church. I feel that it differs from other sects in the way in which the entire religious service is carried out. To me it seems like they take the religion more seriously (in a traditional sense) than say the Baptists or Methodists do. The feeling I got when I entered the church was something along the lines of, “I definitely understand that this is a holy place.” Upon entering many Baptist churches I felt as if I were simply entering a community center of sorts. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with the more contemporary elements found in Baptist churches. I simply feel that if I were to go to church on Sunday I would choose a catholic church, because I appreciate tradition in religion.
