Absolutely preposterous.

First of all, there is nothing in the text of the Missal that would conceivably constitute some sort of “secret” that anyone would have ANY reason to “keep from the people” in order to “keep them ignorant.”

There is nothing particularly “informative” about the Canon of the Mass, or the prayers that change from day to day. Practically the entire text is drawn from the Scriptures. There is no “secret history,” “secret metaphysics,” or any other such imaginary nonsense.

The moment the printing press was invented, Missals containing the entire Latin text of the Mass, with the vernacular translation, became available. These were in the hands of the people. The same, of course, was true of translations of Scripture—which the Church encouraged. As time went on, the Church’s promotion of the use of Missals by the people only grew louder and more insistent.

Preposterous. Oh, really. LOL. Well stated and factual. not at all hyperbolic.

You avoid the main issue because you misstated the “ancient mass” incorrectly as Latin. God caused the apostles to preach in tongues so that local people could hear the word at a time when they couldn’t read and there was no printing press.
Admit that and free yourself from your anger over this pope. if you want to be upset be upset that abortionist and those who fund them freely walk up and receive communion. Thats the place to direct your anger.

The printing press and missiles didn’t teach people to read. That came later, in something called schools. The church was notorious for maintaining control over information and not saying the mass in the local language after God clearly intended it was a major example of my point.

I said i like the latin mass., It is a marketing decision to me. If a priest can speak or read latin and people want to participate then i don’t give a rats ass.

I suggest you ignore my preposterous historically accurate posts and wallow in your need to ignore the real Ancient History of the church.
