Well yeah. But even the wedding mass is usually about 1 hour long. Whoever decided for a 3hr one really is inconsiderate.

    Yeah, my wife is Catholic; we had two options for wedding. The 1 hour ceremony, or the 40 minute ceremony (I think the difference is serving communion). That was it. I don't think we could have gotten a 3 hour ceremony even if we'd wanted it; they need the church for other things.

    As someone who hasn't gone to mass in forty years, how long is it usually? I imagine a hundred and fifty people taking communion would take a long time just by itself.

    I mean where I live it's around 1 hour. Chrismtas and easter can go up to 1,5hr just because of the added stuff. But yeah even wedding mass is usually around 1 hour. Depends on the person holding it.

    I alao juat remembered I have been to a couple catholic and orthodox wedding masses. All were about 1hr long.

    That's definitely more reasonable, albeit dull for someone nonreligious. Maybe OP was exaggerating or it was just an extreme case.

    Forcing non-Catholics to do the ritual is very amusing though.

    Stand up, kneel, sit down, stand up, kneel, sit down...

    It's like going to the gym but there's alcohol.

    Lol. Don't forget the call and response and buff Jesus dead lifting his cross.

    Edit: To be clear, not Korean buff Jesus, but normal buff Jesus.
