We have a hard core of people in our Church who never want to change ANYTHING, even the tiniest little bit. A good number of them want to go back to saying the Mass in Latin, a language understood by 0.002% of the world’s population.
A lot of people think that people can chang e the Church. It simply is not a democracy
Whether the mass is in Latin or not the Eucharist is the Eucharist. No matter
When people say they don’t understand what’s going on in mass because it is in Latin my brain hurts. It’s the mass. That’s what’s going on. It’s not a sit com
Latin Mass undid the Babel punishment, God understands Latin and the priest is speaking to Him, so that works. The rest of us are well able to read and pray along in English or any other language.
I am one of them. Latin should be used in all Churches—the one traditional, apostolic catholic, beautiful element that united all Masses around the World. You would be able to follow mass anywhere.
Now, we have two “masses”—one in Spanish and one in English and total disunity and chaos in my parish (LOL). Why divide people??? by language. It is so evil and creates division which was the Marxist reason to destroy tradition which always destroys faith. People are too dumb to learn English, here, obviously (at least the priest thinks so), and people are too dumb to learn Latin, which was easy when you have repetition of Mass in Latin all the time.
All kids exposed to such rich traditions easily embedded the meaning of the Words. It gives children an “awe” and “mystery” and puzzle, which is now destroyed with the clown, guitar Protestant “masses”, which have “changing” meanings, and evil connotations to so many “words” now, so that rainbow is not a covenant with God—it has become a vulgar sexual act: It represents people who sodomize each other.
Such great concepts to put into heads of little children, huh, so their whole perception of males and females and “Life” is based on satanism and demonic removal of Objective Truth (God). It normalizes satanism in little children (and why many leave the Church (they are satanists now).
Words control concepts and with our “evolving” English language, Evil is now Good, and killing babies is a Natural Right (from God, no less).
There was a GREAT reason to use a dead language for mass-—and it created many more educated, brilliant, thinking people since they had to understand the construction of Language and the basis of many English words. All educated people used to know Latin and Greek, since it is the foundation of the Romance languages and philosophy and much of Christian Theology. Language/Words control concepts—the more Words you understand in Latin and Greek, the more you will understand English and the origins of words. The bigger the vocabulary, the more concepts you can have-—like a Nietzsche or JRR Tolkien or CS Lewis. Brilliance is always determined by vocabulary.
The reason why tribal cultures in Africa are so limited in IQ and intelligence-—the ability for abstract thought, is their language doesn’t give them the possibility of theological and philosophical concepts. Jesuits understood that in the 16th century—that to “educate” these tribes they had to remove the children and control their language so they could actually have rational, abstract concepts.
There is a reason why the Marxists and sodomites like John Dewey and John Maynard Keynes restructured our “educational” and economic system to destroy Rhetoric and phonics and eliminate the Bible and complex reading materials for “Go Dick and Jane”: so that people remain ignorant, never stretch the mind, and remain incapable of thinking in abstract ways, so it will block individualism and ability to “think” outside the State’s programmed, allowed “box”.
Traditions inside the Catholic Church created the Scholastic period and the university system which led to the Age of Reason, the Renaissance, Common Law, Natural Law Theory, and the Magna Carta-—only the Christian worldview could create ways of “thinking” where Slavery was evil—as was pederasty, incest, misogyny, polygamy, homosexuality (sodomy), and satanism/materialism—which now is becoming normalized and “Good”. A truly just and rational and free “justice” system—only one in the World.
Only Truth will set us Free and the Catholic Church dumped Truth and God with Vatican II so that 2000 years of Ethics could be destroyed and using the pill and other artificial, satanic poisoning of the body is now “Good”—so people can be God and killing your own genetic offspring is now normalized and “Just Law”.
The Catholic Church promotes satanism in their twisted way (pederasty and sodomite “priests” are rampant inside the Church now). They were fed into the seminaries by Bella Dodd in 30s to destroy Truth (kill God) and promote a watered down, irreverent, puerile system of “worship” which strips the Mass of all wonder and awe and beauty and mystery—and reduces it to a man-worshipping system of humanism, completely devoid of Christ.
