The "dead" aspect of Latin is what makes it so appealing. The English language (or any other modern language, for that matter) itself is not the problem. The problem is that the modern Mass has been subject to multiple translations that change the meanings of many of the most important elements of Christianity in subtle (but deliberate) ways.

Look at the first line of the Nicene Creed in the English translation of the Mass, for example ... "We believe in one God, (etc.)" ... when the original Latin version ... "Credo in unum Deum" specifically means: "I believe (etc.)" The Nicene Creed is a personal profession of the Christian faith, not a communal one.

Well that's not the fault of the English language...Why does the Catholic religion allow the 'we' to exist???

The Nicene Creed is a personal profession of the Christian faith, not a communal one.

After looking at numerous written Catholic prayers, it appears that they all say 'we' most everywhere...And as you say, there's no personalization in that...
