and on the Sabbath. That sort of spoils the whole Latin Mass thing altogether.

Pay no mind to the troll. He doesn't know; he wasn't there. In those times, people also spoke Latin and Aramaic.

Interesting that you would mention Hebrew, because Hebrew wasn't anyone's vernacular in St. Paul's day. The Jews reserved it for religious use, and used Aramaic or Greek for mundane use. IOW, Hebrew was a sacral language, set aside for use in worship ... much like Latin used to be for Catholics ... and maybe will be again.

You are correct that both liturgy and Scripture were known in the West in Greek before they were translated into Latin, although we don't know anymore just how much of the Roman Rite is a translation of a Greek original, and how much was composed de novo in Latin.
