I was good as a kid at pronouncing the Latin responses compared to my Texan classmates who murdered them. That led to me being requested by the nuns to serve as single altar boy for their daily 6AM Mass in their convent.
Without Latin the Mass is lousy.
IMO, tradition is great; I love tradition.
But if ALL the congregants aren’t fluent in Latin, what’s the point? When tradition for the sake of tradition takes precedence over people hearing and understanding the Gospel, it seems wrong. A bit insulting to the hearers who don’t know Latin.
The “mystical” aspect is worrisome. The Gospel should be completely UN-mystical; it should be so clear that EVERYBODY understands.
I do “get” the basic tradition aspect, and the comfort it brings, though. We look for some measure of it when deciding on a church.
JMO.
I loved the idea of all Catholics world wide celebrating in the same language at the same time.
The vicious Modernists, Marxists, and Militants of every stripe know this.
This is why The Mass of The Ages, Traditional Rites and prayers, theology, teachings, etc. had to be—and continue to this very day—ignored, hidden, defiled, and destroyed.
Evil is real and in our midst.
