>> the discussion revolves around whether Latin Mass is beneficial or not. <<

Again, no that is not the topic. There is no question about whether the Latin Mass can be beneficial. The old Latin language tridentine mass is occasionally used in the modern Catholic Church, and certainly many people prefer it over the "regular" English language mass and are happy it is available to the public. If the argument was whether it was "beneficial", the topic would revolve around removing Tridentine masses from usage entirely.

Rather, the topic was whether we should "restore Latin to the Mass" and make it the standard and default form of worship in the Catholic Church.

My opinion is we should not.

Nope. Not the subject of the article, nor the conversation I was having in my posts. The article is referring to the Lutheran church (small c catholics). The posts you jumped in on, were my points on why Latin was not a superior choice. But if you want to make that a point of discussion it is certainly closely related to the topic and much more valid than trying to find cracks in semantics.

Noted.
