To conduct a church service in a language unintelligable to the congregants smacks of pagan ritual (the mystery religions).

You don't really mean that, do you?

Thats silly. There have always been certain liturgical languages which have a higher place of honor. I can think of three that still do. Latin Greek and Church Slavonic

I can't right now recall any pagan ritual that was performed in an unintelligible language. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
