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

and why would someone who doesn't speak Latin WANT a service said in a language they don't understand ?

A radical priest could be up there calling everyone all KINDS of butthole ... and y'all'd respond; Thank You, Lord for Your Mercies

It’s called the ROMAN Catholic Church for a reason.

I was watching the mass on Fox News, seeing all the unintelligible pageantry that the humble man raised by a carpenter would have abhorred.

And I thanked God that, in his good time, he gave us Martin Luther to straighten out this mess.

What language would you suggest it be in? Ebonics?

Your post is incoherent.

Are you saying that Catholics believe that the Scriptures were written in Latin? If so, that's an embarrassing mistake on your part.

Or are you saying that God has a language instead of being above all languages? That's perhaps more embarrassing for you.

Or are you saying that liturgies must be performed in Biblical Hebrew or Koine Greek? That doesn't make much sense.

Essentially, you are somehow upset or threatened by someone worshipping in a language that is the common heritage of the entire Western world and the language which more Christians wrote or read than any other for more than a thousand years.

Is it because you know you lack the wherewithal to learn it?

Actually, I concluded in 11th grade that God’s language is Trigonometry.
