My Peruvian friend once brought me to a non denom church, the cross was moved to the side to fit a projector in the middle and that’s how I became a Nazi
I have to say though although Protestant singing usually sucks, I went to a very traditionalist southern church and can’t lie I really do miss their singing
Growing up at least my church was old enough we had all the hymnals and such and had enough space up front to just project on a wall, that was like right at the tail end of it being normal to use hymnals in a low church protestant setting
Tradprot worship is genuinely really comfy. Not quite as big as the old latin stuff, but it manages to be both respectful and warm. Nothing quite like a tiny organ, a well trained choir, and a congregation not afraid to sing along.
No, that's the result of syncretism from the original Catholic missionarries to South America. They turned it all into a folk religion regardless how much lip service they paid the Pope.
That syncretism was present in the mission era, they all just supplanted the native deities with Mary and Saints in the hopes they'd switch over, but they never really did
That's why most American evangelicals think the way they do about Catholicism. A lot of the time the only two Catholics they ever meet are their old, alcoholic Irish Catholic dicorce lawyer, and their cleaning lady with a Santa Muerta shrine under the shelf she keeps her Formula 409 on
