“The scripture you quote is not referring to the Latin Mass, but to glossolalia.”

Had to look that one up. It doesn't appear in my bible, nor yours I suspect.

It is always a question as to whether tongues is a reference to the spirit language or a foreign language or both. In some of the scripture quoted it was clearly referring to other languages. The point doesn't change whether you are speaking gibberish or French. If the population doesn't speak gibberish, French, or Latin, they aren't going to hear understand the gospel message are they?
Or is that not the purpose of your church?

The purpose of Holy Mass is worship, not instruction. However:

The homily is given in English, and the scripture readings are re-read in English at that time. And again, everything is in the book for anyone who is literate to read.
