I can't forget that the original lanuage of the Church was koine Greek,

From which, of course, the Kyrie survives. Who was it that wrote the piece on the old Mass that pointed out that it was like a beloved old home, with furniture and decorations from many different times, but all meaningful and, ultimately, all harmonious, assembled gradually with love.

Unfortunately, many churches have even eliminate that little bit of Greek. Ironically, "Kyrie Eleison" was a popular tune not too many years ago. The people are not as tone deaf as the priests seem to think!
