Latin is the official language of the church and has been for over a thousand years. The pre vatican II mass is alot more reverent than the N.O. Mass issued in 1970. And becuase Latin is a dead language, it makes it more suitable since its words cannot change.
So what. We're talking about the mass for the peoples of the world--not the bureacrats of the church.
"The pre vatican II mass is alot more reverent than the N.O. Mass issued in 1970."
Why?? Because it is said in a dead language??
And becuase Latin is a dead language, it makes it more suitable since its words cannot change."
What the heck does THAT matter, if none of the listeners can understand it?? It has to be translated anyway--why not just use the translation directly.
