People take issue with us for using Latin, despite the fact that it provides a vocabulary of technical and precise words. Then when we use English they insist on the dictionary description of the common use of a word to interpret a technical document.

I'm sure if someone on the staff asked for a syringe you wouldn't bring him a swamp reed and excuse yourself by looking at the usage of the word over the ages.

Sacramental theology also has a jargon, a technical vocabulary.

God choose Greek because it is the most precise language..
