Worship
The worship of the Old Catholic Churches is much like the worship of the Anglican Church. This particular Church has mass very similar to liturgies used within the Anglican Church. The Mass though, is in Italian. It also has its similarities with the more traditional Tridentine Mass. The Priest faces the Altar, the Deacon and the Subdeacon both have active roles in the mass, and there is an Altar Rail (usually).

Famous quotes containing the word worship:
“Both nuns and mothers worship images,
But those the candles light are not as those
That animate a mother’s reveries,
But keep a marble or a bronze repose.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The worship of Mammon may be vulgar or immoral, but it persists while other religions falter and disappear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
