Let me start by saying that I'm not Catholic. I have many friends who are and on rare occasions I am priviledged to attend mass with one of them. Last Easter was such an occasion. Totally in English. Even I felt disappointed and somehow unfulfilled by the experience.

I know God understands every language ever thought of by mankind but the lack of using Latin in a Catholic mass is like wearing your street clothes to church. It is acceptable but not very respectful. Church should be regarded as different, out of the ordinary (in a positive way). I think it is a good move.

Not yet, anyway. Anyone who longs for ritual and respects tradition belongs with us. Come on in. The water's fine.
