It’s funny, I chuckled.
But the devil understands Latin only too well. Recall the 2nd & 3rd Sorrowful Mysteries were achieved while Our Christ was horribly abused and cursed in Latin.
So why is the Latin language such a hated language now? Perhaps it’s because what Jesus Christ has done to the Roman tongue. His Love has turned “Roman virtues” into Redemption. The boastful empire that crucified Christ became His champion. The story of Latin is a Romance and a promise of how Christ will Redeem us all if we invite Him into our hearts and our lives.
Cool!
Joe ... thank you! I had never considered this and you are absolutely right. He suffered great indignity at the hands of the Romans who spoke Latin. And we know who goaded them on.
Your postings are quite inspirational.

Respectfully...
Who “hates Latin”? I don’t follow this train of thought...I don’t think there’s been one posting on this thread that anyone, even the most stauch non Catholic, has said that...please elaborate...
I must say you have an interesting perspective on Christ using the Roman Empire to spread His word, of course Greek was probably bigger since this spread the Gospel throughout the world in a faster and more commonly understood way. Point being, God uses us to bring us to Him. It’s an amazing thing when we sit back and look at how it has all happened over time.
