[what's up]

OK...finally some good info from you. I posted the link before I saw your post.

By the way, it's not helpful for you to use words like "rant" and "foolish" if you want to be taken seriously.

My point was if Catholics desire to maintain Latin in the Mass (as the poster above maintains) because they associate it with sacred worship these same Catholics might in my mind want the Bible to still be Latin. Why one and not the other?

Four reasons for maintaining the Mass in Latin (IMO): 1: It's the same everywhere. This is the Catholic Church.
2: The Sacred Worship thing.
3: Vocabulary necessary to understand the Mass in Latin is small. As opposed to understanding the Bible in Latin, which would require a huge vocabulary.
4: Meaning of words in Latin doesn't change.

Incidentally, even at a Latin Mass, the Bible readings are in English (or whatever the local language is).

BTW, in the Fourth Century Roman Empire, the local languang was ... LATIN! For which reason the Church had the Scriptures translated from Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic to ... Latin.
