At what point did the Church become so "Renaissance/European"?

[Aramis]

Glagolitic is a writing system for Slavonic. It is not a language.

Slavonic is written with three alphabets: Glagolitic, Cyrillic, and Latin. Many confuse the name of the writing form for a separate language, because it also refers to a culture which originated the writing form.

I have enough books on the matter, most of them written by Greek scholars so guess what. Do you have a particular excerpt from this which you could produce to illustrate your point?

Just the one I noted.

My question is how did the Church go from 12 guys from the “middle east” walking in sandals with long hair and donkeys to Latin, chanting, and pipe organs?

Just to make something clear (although I do not think you intended to ask the following)…

That’s kind of like asking how the United States of America went from wigged Continental Congressmen on horseback with muskets to, well…

The point being that the USA did not somehow cease to be the USA by getting rid of the wigs, horses and muskets in favor of something more modern. Ditto with the Catholic Church losing sandals and Aramaic in favor of Ecclesiastical Latin and pipe organs.
