I drifted away around the time of Vatican II so I don't know much about the current situation. Events like weddings and funerals are a little different but in my day the Mass was said in Latin. Many had missals so they could follow along but it was scripted and the same worldwide. There were a few responses but you didn't freelance. High Masses were more ornate but the usual Mass did not incorporate singing. Even for the high Mass the choir sang and singing along was not encouraged. The doctrine was just as tight. The Cathechism of the Catholic Church says 'this we believe, this we don't believe, and for this you can make up your own mind' with footnotes and references. I didn't prepare me for the chaos of Protestantism, particularly the touchy-feely personal lord and savior stuff. Also the Protestants take a Taliban like approach to art and most of their churches look like bus stations.
