"Do you really believe that?"

Are you calling me a liar or attempting to read my mind?

I know the reason the language of the Church was Latin as to 99.99% of all biblical and historical scholars. Having studied Latin and German as well as Church history in a "classic education" I know full well that theological constructs lend themselves better to some languages than others. It is the same reason that Chopin and Mozart can't be appreciated when played on a kazoo.

lol. So now the act of questioning a Roman Catholic is breaking the rules? lol.

If the goal is to better preserve "theological constructs," then the translations should be made directly from the Greek and Hebrew.

But the truth of those translations does not serve Rome well.
