Koine Greek, not Latin was the primary language of the New Testament texts, letters and books, from the time of Paul to 600 A.D.

There is no record of Paul or his contemporaries performing any ceremony in Latin.

How then can Latin lay claim to the oldest ceremonial language of Christians, much less Christianity? It can’t.

When men make the rules the rules can be changed by other men.
For the Catholics and their “church” to claim sole authority to speak for God is beyond preposterous. They are a law to themselves and deceive many.

Several years ago, while we were vacationing in Virginia, I was overjoyed to find a Latin Mass. It brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful, so dignified. I was saddened, though, to realize how much Latin I had forgotten.
