1) The two main parts are the Liturgies of the Word and the Eucharist.
2) The order is Preparation of Gifts, Eucharistic Prayer and the Communion Rite. Of course they all have their little parts but that's the basic.
And *gasp* I was in the LGBT section... who knew the two could come together - Maybe the wrong forum for the question? :)

The two main parts of the Mass are the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Here is an outline of the Mass:
+ Introductory Rites
. + Entrance (All stand)
. + Greeting
. + Act of Penitence
. + Kyrie Eleison (Latin for "Lord have mercy")
. + Gloria
. + Opening Prayer
+ Liturgy of the Word
. + First Reading - usually from the Old Testament (All sit)
. + Responsorial Psalm
. + Second Reading - usually from a New Testament Epistle
. + Gospel Reading (All stand)
. + Homily (All sit for the sermon)
. + Profession of Faith (the Nicene Creed) (All stand)
. + Prayer of the Faithful (prayers of petition)
+ Liturgy of the Eucharist
. + The Preparation of the Gifts - the bread and wine are brought forward and placed on the altar, our monetary offerings are also collected at this time (All sit)
. + The Prayer over the Offerings (All stand)
. + The Eucharistic Prayer - during this prayer the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood of Christ (Catholics kneel, visitors may kneel or sit)
. + The Lord's Prayer (All stand)
. + The Rite of Peace (We offer each other a sign of peace)
. + The Breaking of the Bread
. + Communion - non-Catholics are requested out of respect not to receive Communion, they may approach the altar with their arms crossed over their chest to receive a blessing (Stand or kneel according to local custom)
+ The Concluding Rites
. + Announcements (All sit)
. + Blessing (All stand)
. + Dismissal
. + Procession
With love in Christ.

there is no such thing as a 'true catholic'
if you are catholic, its true that you're catholic. and no one can say someone else isn't what they say they are
you can say they don't follow all the rules and doctrine

Shouldn't you be asking in 'Religion & Spirituality'?
I think you'll get more answers.
