And if any Protestant thinks the Roman Catholic Church is medieval, go attend an Eastern Orthodox mass sometime, preferably a Russian one (the "OCA").* It's a time machine. They really haven't changed in 2,000 years. Wear very comfortable shoes if you go...
On a related note, there are a minority of traditional Anglican Churches whose masses look a lot more medieval than many of the modern post-Vatican II Catholic masses.
The loooooooooong wedding scene in The Deer Hunter shows a Rusyn/Carpatho-Rusyn* Orthodox mass/wedding from a real cathedral in Cleveland.
*a people without a state. Many 1,000's of them bolted in the early 1900s for the coal fields and steel mills of W. Penn/E. Ohio.
