Latin is not essential to the mass. You can say it in English and it would mean the same.

You know what--you're right. :)

But suppose some of us *choose* to worship in Latin? Do you think that people who prefer a non-vernacular liturgical language should be excluded from worshiping that way?

Actually, he's not right. I'm not so excited about bringing back Latin, but I am excited about the Una Voce project, which will purge about 1000 heresy-inducing mistranslations from the English mass.

Turns out what we say in English does NOT mean the same thing.
