I don't think the vernacular will be eliminated. Of course the translations ought to be authentic but the Latin Mass itself was the vernacular translation of the Mass in Greek.

Whether the Mass is said in Aramaic, Greek, Latin, English, Armenian, etc we shouldn't get (imo) too polemical about in what language mass should be said.

The Mass is about the action of Jesus as priest and victim and the language is secondary. We have always had one Mass; many Liturgues, riutes etc; but one Mass since the Last Supper

I don't think the vernacular will be eliminated. Of course the translations ought to be authentic but the Latin Mass itself was the vernacular translation of the Mass in Greek.

And I didn't suggest that. I suggested doing away with Paul VI's banal and atraditional rite.

I'm all for the Tridentine Rite celebrated in the vernacular and in Latin. I'm less concerned about the Latin language than I am about that rite. In fact, I've seen the Tridentine Mass in the vernacular, at an Anglo-Catholic Episcopal parish. It was very much the way I think things should be.
