Please Lord, restore your Church.

How do you feel about a restoration that would use the vernacular? Is Latin a vital component? If so, why?

I would be fine with the hybrid missal of 1965. It simply followed VII instructions to introduce some vernacular while employing a straight translation of the 1962 missal. It didn’t create a “banal, fabricated liturgy” (Cardinal Ratzinger’s description, not mine) out of thin air as happened with the 1970 missal of Paul VI.

Latin is a wonderful language, but using the vernacular is much more important.
