“Pray incantations in Latin - Catholics again”

Not allowed by our current “Pope”.

I grew up in a Catholic family, went to Catholic schools, etc, etc...

Due to having older parents and uncles I was exposed to a bit of Latin but never in any church service.

Until this year.

My mother passed away at the beginning of this year and during her funeral mass the priest used Latin at several points.

It was surreal. In a small rural Australian town a black priest from Tanzania was using Latin during a funeral mass for one of his parishioners in likely defiance of a Papal decree.

I don’t regard myself as Catholic anymore; I’m a Christian who’s studying the Bible to better understand God’s word and trying to find a local church that’s actually biblically based. But it looks like there’s a split between the lefty senior leadership and the conservative priests and laity.
