Perhaps the RM will enlighten you. Why would a Catholic send a Christian a post with Latin and prayers to saints - but to disrupt. Why the NEED for Latin?

Posting it to Catholics would be the right thing to do but then that wouldn’t be disruptive, would it?

A Catholic posted an exorcism post in Latin here to a Christian. Nice, right? How’s that for toxic!!

This isn’t the first thread they wanted closed. Whatever they think will work, they will try. Too much truth posted and that’s their response to it.

"Why the NEED for Latin?"

A concerto composed for a piano is not adequately relayed by a banjo. Similarly, a prayer, composed in Latin, the mother tongue of Catholic theology, is not done justice in English. Why should your ignorance deprive everyone else on the thread of the full beauty and message?

We speak Latin.
If I wrote in Polish with English translation, would you ask me to stop? That’s just silly.
