I think that the Three languages that were nailed to the cross indicated the "lingua franca" of Christianity. Latin, Greek and Hebrew. IMO, we would all be better off for submitting to these timeless languages. I believe that these three languages seem to have been blessed by God.

God certainly used Hebrew and Greek to write His Scripture. I don't know if that means they were "blessed" by God. Perhaps God just decided to use the language that we happened to speak at the time.

Latin has no such claim. It was just the common language of the Empire. The language literate people understood.

Don't get me wrong, I think Latin has its place in the liturgy. And the value of an unchanging language for expressing unchanging truths is vital.

But that does nto mean that the Church has no capacity to regulate Her own liturgies.
