“Please jump in and help explain the enduring nature of the Latin Mass. Thanks!”

Thank you for that, I am not looking to convert but I do love to learn.

***“Please jump in and help explain the enduring nature of the Latin Mass. Thanks!”***

I hope I understand your question properly. If so, the answer is that Latin is a dead language which, of course, never changes. So, no matter what country one is in the Mass he attends can be said without losing the original meaning.

The words may be changed to those of each country, but they must agree with the original Latin meaning.
