the Mass in only Latin, etc were a part of the oral teaching in the NT


Have you been reading Loraine Boettner?

I’d love to see who else claims that the Church has claimed that the Apostles said the Mass had to be in Latin. He is by far the most likely “credible” candidate. Princeton was, I guess, trying to show that they could do worse than Wilson.

At the time of the Apostles, Greek was the working language in Rome, and the Roman Liturgy, Kyrie Eleison, remained in Greek until the Pontificate of Damasus I, ca. 380.

Greek was much less prevalent in Africa, which was where the original Latin traditions had earlier roots.

Good information yet there’s a small sect that swears the mass has to be in Latin or else it seems to be heresy to do otherwise.
