Thank you for saying your opinion is irrelevant. I wouldn't have gone that far. I just think you are caught up the the emotions of defending your position in the face of the overwhelming evidence in Acts that it is God's intent for us to hear his word and worship language.

You have excommunicated me in your own pride, but there's still hope for you. Pray, do penance, and be humble and the word of God will reach you in whatever language you will understand. I also will pray for you, even though in your anger you would have me expelled from the womb of Holy Mother the Church.

I will leave you now to contemplate the sin of pride.

overwhelming evidence in Acts

You definitely sound like a Protestant sola scriptura believer, holding your own personal interpretation of Scripture against the infallible Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Although the mass contains great instruction for the faithful people, nevertheless, it has not seemed expedient to the Fathers, that it should be every where celebrated in the vulgar tongue. ... If any one saith ... that the mass ought to be celebrated in the vulgar tongue only ... let him be anathema. (Council of Trent, Session XXII, Decree on the Sacrifice of the Mass)

Faith and Private Judgment

Sin of pride? This from a defender of a man-made revolution that attempted to destroy nearly two millennia of Church doctrine? What of the blind pride so ferociously evident in VAT II adherents who refuse to recognize a train wreck while sitting in steaming rubble at the station? You lefty "catholics" are really something...

"I just think you are caught up the the emotions of defending your position in the face of the overwhelming evidence in Acts that it is God's intent for us to hear his word and worship language.
You have excommunicated me in your own pride,"

Yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm not in the least bit emotional old chap - if you reject the plain teaching of the Church, that's your business and the consequences are entirely of your own making. All I can do is point out the consequences to you.

I have not excommunicated you even in the slightest - fortunately deacons lost their right to excommunicate about 1300 years ago. But its quite within your power to excommunicate yourself when you reject the teaching of the Church.

Your fate, your choice, good luck!
