The use of Latin is not an offense; it's just not done very often!
What is the Western Church's practice? Vernacular liturgy. And there is not going to be any reimposition of Latin on Catholics who have two generations of vernacular liturgies in their background.
Sinkspur, there was an imposition of the vernacular on Catholics who had countless generatations of Latin liturgies in their background. That doesn't make two generations of vernacular a terribly daunting barrier.
Mind you, I neither think the vernacular is going away within my lifetime, nor do I think it a wise idea to rip away established liturgical traditions. This is one of the reasons I find the manner the Novus Ordo was imposed to have been senseless and brutal. It's not something I'd like to see the Church ever revisit on you or any other Catholic.
