i still say it's been down hill after the Church dropped Latin

[Marty62]

Agreed, I love the Latin Mass

You are right! Last week a young woman with a child brought in a “big gulp” and was sipping on it throughout Mass while her little girl was whining and laying flat on the kneeler. Why do these people bother?

I think I'd blame a lot of other forces besides speaking English instead of Latin for any downfall.

I grew up in the Catholic church, and remember as a child in grade school attending Mass every morning,and it was all in Latin. But so what? None of us kids understood Latin, we recited it all. "Et cum spritu tuo". We didn't understand what we were saying and singing.

I just don't believe God is impressed by a bunch of people chanting things they don't even understand. As scripture says, God is not the author of confusion, and confusion is saying things you don't even understand.

There are a lot of evil forces, a.k.a the Prince of This Word, at work against any Christian church regardless of what language they use.
