Switching to Latin and having missiles printed when many couldn’t read closed off the gospel to only the aristocrats and the clergy.

If they can't read, what difference does it make what language the missal is printed in? Catholics are flocking to Latin masses today, and they don't speak it either.

Furthermore, the homily is in the local language. The liturgy is in latin.

You really need to get some background before trying to diagnose someone else.

Background. LOL.

Suggested by a person who doesn’t understand the meaning of Pentecost. The world is upside down today with ignorance.

Most people couldn’t read before 1800. So if you say the mass in latin, then they can’t follow. Get it now.

Anyway local language was the first mass because of the miracle of Pentecost

Now that there are churches all over the world, I don’t care what language the mass is in now. But if I was leading missions in the jungle of Brazil it wouldn’t be in Latin.

if you don’t like it go to the next church. I don’t believe the popes should restrict the latin mass if the locals want it.

I was an altar boy with the Latin mass. Oh and i could read.
