Oh, I understood you completely. You said "...hear from God in a language he doesn't understand."
The Latin in the pre-Vatican II Mass were the prayers TO God (with English and Latin side-by-side in the missal). Readings from Scripture--hearing from God--were in Latin and English (or whatever the local language), and homilies were also English.

I remember the days when one could wake up to a nice bowl of Wheaties. Today its bigots for breakfast.
