The Mass was in Greek, and in Latin later. These were the languages of the people.

There are solid theological, anthropological, and psychological reasons for praying in a sacral language.

Keeping the Mass in Latin meant that the West’s patrimony of music was permanent and universal.

When most of the Mass was in Latin, the Scriptures and the preaching were always in the vernacular. And the people had Missals in Latin and the vernacular. The Mass as a whole is not a “lesson” or “instruction.”

When the apostles were preaching on Pentecost, they were not offering the Eucharist.

You sadly don’t know the story of Pentecost. please show me in the bible where the people only spoke greek and latin or in fact show me in any history book. On that day people were there from various nations and spoke on various tongues. that is God’s message reach to the people in the language they understand. you can enjoy the latin mass all you want just don’t printed thats what God directed.

so you posit that it was latin and Greek people spoke even in Jerusalem that wasn;t true. Why wasn’t;t the eucharist in Greek then. seems like they left out half the people. When did greek get left behind. Do you know that people in the north and eats didn’t ever speak latin unless they were very wealthy and had tutors.

So they went to other countries and islands and spoke only n Greek and latin. is that what you’re saying. they preaching in one language and did the mass sin another. why would they do that. wouldn’t that confuse people who didn’t speak latin or greek. why did God limit this miracle to non-euchartisc ministry.

your position is illogical and nonsensical.

It is generally agreed by historians that Jesus and his disciples primarily spoke Aramaic (Jewish Palestinian Aramaic), the common language of Judea in the first century AD, most likely a Galilean dialect distinguishable from that of Jerusalem.
