jesus spoke Aramaic. But he was brilliant and surrounded by Roman conquerors, so I don’t doubt he spoke and understood Latin as did the more astute Jews in the region.

I stopped going to mass around HS graduation in 1966. The next time I went was for a wedding or funeral in the mid seventies. I no longer recognized the Catholic Church. The Latin was gone there was guitar playing and folksy singing. I missed the ceremonial Latin( And btw tioga, in the Latin Mass, the homily and other parts of the Mass were in English).

I had personal (selfish) reasons for leaving church at that time. My reason for not returning is it is not the church I spent 17 years in and 10 years in catholic parochial school in.

I currently worship God by visiting his handiworks and marveling at them. My boat on Long Island Sound. A trip to my mountain hideaway, a visit to the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone. I don’t worship nature, only the creator in his own cathedral.

Oh, that’s too bad. I have St. Agnes in NYC which not only has the Tridentine Mass but also has excellent sermons - after all, it was the church of Fulton Sheen!
