Makes sense. Instead of doing it in language (English) or in
"HIS" language (Spanish, Italian)
"THEIR" language (Polish, French, Portuguese, German, Tagalog, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Bantu, Swahili, Aleut, Yupik, whatever)--- how about
"OUR" language?

Yes, because as we all know, both the Old Testament and the New Testament were written in Latin. It’s God’s language, right?

Tower of Babel.
I remember when we all listened to the Mass in Latin. Not very difficult because the Mass is not too difficult. At least, when I was first taught it as an eight year old.

It’s a bit ironic. I remember when the Church changed from Latin to English and the Catholics were up in arms because they wanted their Latin mass!

Latin because it’s closest to an international language. But the article says it will be a Novus Ordo Mass.

I remember “High Mass” (11:15 AM on Sundays) back in the day.
I didn’t understand a word of it but it was linguistically beautiful.

Baloney! Parts of Mass are always in Latin for special occasions. Still.

“It’s not unheard of, but it doesn’t make much sense, if you’re in an English parish, or a Spanish parish, to do it in Latin.”
What if half speak only English and half only speak Spanish? Then Latin makes perfect sense.
