But seriously.... because of language? You didn't consider that the first languages of the Faith were Hebrew/Aramaic, THEN Greek, and THEN Latin?

"Eek, and now English? Too much! There's probably no God!"

Of course...it was a joke. I don’t type well enough to justify my position to you....and I hope you feel the same way.

But those earlier languages were uniform (nearly) across the world at the time.

English is just a single example of the local vernacular in effect now. Very different from the clarity and immutability of the common languages and very subject to nuance and abuse.

The reason I left the New Mass was because of the handshake (hug; grope) of Peace. An even worse reason to leave, probably. But later I found there were some perfectly good reasons to take shelter in the Tridentine Mass.

I would elucidate but you already know them and I have to leave for Latin Mass in 15 minutes.

Is that really your view of an agnostic's position?

Did you hear about the agnostic, dyslexic insomniac? The poor guy stayed awake all night wondering if there really IS a dog.
