It’s hard to preach about morality when the congreation doesn’t understand the language that the mass is given in.

The homily is in the vernacular. The readings are usually read in the vernacular as part of the homily.

The rest of the Mass is in a missal anyone can buy for $100 or so, Latin in the left column and English in the right. 60% of it (or thereabouts) is the same from week-to-week; once you know it, you know it.

So what's the problem?

My issue with the CC is they don’t teach morality or right/wrong as religion is supposed to. They have gone too PC and wishy-washy.

“The rest of the Mass is in a missal anyone can buy for $100 or so, Latin in the left column and English in the right.”

I might add that a very good “Beginner Latin” missal booklet, that is popular at my diocese, is available for $6.50 shipped. Even my nine year old can follow it.

$100 is high. We bought paperback Stedman Sunday missals for our congregation at $6 each NEW. All the Traditional Mass every day of the week missals are like 40-$50 today.

The Novus Ordo missalettres change every month, would cost more in a short time than the traditoinal missals which last forever. I still use a 1945 Lassance missal.
