Now you're making stuff up - of course, that would be expected from someone who wholeheartedly aceepted the dogmatic philosophy that promoted cultural genocide on native populations of the Americas rather than show a decent example, and avoiding doing a liturgy in vernacular.

Did Christ preach in Latin? Teach in Latin?

And here we see you expose yourself as an unknowledgeable cultural liberal. The native populations (not the Spanish Whites or Mestizos) of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, etc., seem quite happy their way of incorporating their culture into Latin/Spanish Catholic Culture. I don't think they care at all for you butting into their affairs and declaring that their culture is an unworthy imposition.

Christ read the Scriptures in the Synagogue in Hebrew (or Greek I suppose, if he was ever in a Hellene Synagogue with a Septuagint Bible), but taught in Aramaic to the Israelites, and Greek to the Greeks (as in John 12). I'm sure when he ran into the Roman Centurion in Matthew 8, he taught him in Latin. Or are you know going to tell us that first century Centurions and Legionaires were not Italians?
