The West spoke Latin. The East spoke Greek.

And to this day, the Mass is offered in Latin in some western-derived Catholic churches. In eastern-derived Catholic Churches, the Divine Liturgy is offered in Greek (with some Aramaic, old church Slavonic, and perhaps a few other languages.) It has nothing to do with "The worldwide Latin mass was imposed later so that the poor and illiterate couldn’t follow because they couldn’t read and only clergy and the wealthy understood latin." That bit is counter-historical nonsense.

Please inform those ignorant amongst us why the church went all ,latin after the message of pentecost

The church is infamous for not doing much to uplift the poor and kow towing to the land owners, kings, princess, and wealthy to maintain their own power base. There’s not much profit in educating and uplifting peons. But your version of history may enlighten me, m as I admit I missed a few days of class when i majored in history and studied church history since..
