True. Snobbery about Church Latin arose in the Renaissance with Erasmus and the other Humanists. If you didn’t write Ciceronian prose, they considered you to be barbaric.
Ironically, that was the beginning of the end of Latin as a LIVING LANGUAGE, as soon as it began to be treated as a fossilized language that had died 1400 years earlier.
I had not heard that, but it makes sense.
Darn those secular humanists, they mess everything up!
