After 23 pages, I can’t believe people are still allowing themselves to be lured in by a non-Catholic whose only aim is to humor him/herself while we fight amongst ourselves.

For my part, I’m done here. If a Catholic wishes to start a new thread on the use of the Latin language in the Catholic Church, I will gladly participate.

So everyone can be equally unconfortable in a language not theirs.

I didn’t want to post this until the Traditional Latin mass followers had their day. Since by now September 14 has come and gone, I’ll post now.

First, I don’t have anything against the Tridentine mass. Our Western Rite Orthodox use the Divine Liturgy of St. Gregory, which is basically the same, and I am fine with that (though I’m Arab and Eastern Rite).

I don’t have anything against Latin, or any liturgical language, per se, except when its appeal is smells and bells. It has to go farther.

It seems —from what has transpired in this thread–the above has gone out the window or maybe was never really part of the picture to begin with.​

It is becoming more clear—it was not really part of the picture.

What about when the Roman Centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant? It might well be that this gentile spoke with Jesus in Latin …

See Matthew 8:5-13

As I am kidded that I’m only one of three people who could follow all the dialogue in the Passion of the Christ.

The soldiers among themselves do speak Latin, somewhat Balkan, which would be accurate.

Pilate first speaks to Christ in Aramaic, and suprised by the Latin repsonse.

The soldiers talking to the populace speak mostly Aramaic. When the one calls St. Simon a Jew, it’s Latin.

The centurion probably spoke in Aramaic, or Greek.

Come a long way from the original post. Started off having nothing against Latin—to now – where apparently we are indulging in nostalgia.

That’s my question: are you?

Just in case you missed it the first time, Isa Almisry:

Am reposting in the hopes that my posts are not getting lost in the shuffle because they’re coming too close to the end of the page such that you’re not even seeing what I’m posting —

Funny you should mention this … the Mass “got that” from the Bible story I just referred you to, of which you can find a version in Matthew 8:5-13.

Like I said in a previous post, there’s a distinct possibility that the Roman Centurion and Jesus spoke in Latin … Thus, if such were indeed the case, God DOES speak Latin.

I just saw it, catching up.

You know—It does most certainly look that way. I have been thinking the same think for a while now. We have been baited from the start.

I sure hope this is not a general trait of Orthodoxy.

You hear that, Isa? We’re rebelling against you! I hereby boycott this thread. If I were one of those sedevacantist Antipopes, I’d anathematize it too!!!
 
To our moderator —please close this thread. There has been enough baiting by the OP.

I’m ginving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he has been reasonable and pleasant which is more than some.🙂 Call it…a friendly debate.
There are much less friendly debates going on elsewhere.
I think what he has highlighted though is that each of us bring our own perspective. We are all different and the CAF would be terribly boring if we weren’t.👍

Got to go to Vespers. If the priest does his usual, the psalms will be in Latin.

No, just stating He has shown no such preference for it.​

And you place yourself in the position to speak for God on His preferences. Has He revealed this and given you authority to do so.
 
I think you’re all nuts.

Everybody knows that Jesus is a blue-eyed blonde with fair skin and speaks English with a British accent. :confused:

It seems best to let the OP converse with him/her self or with any other who is willing to let an Orthodox dictate to the Catholic.

Hey, I’m glad somebody sees sense but I have to add that it is a Scots accent not a British one.😉 And he speaks broad Glaswegian! Even the 10 commandments were in Scots!

I think Isa isn’t Orthdox. I think he’s a Muslim troll. :mad: Isa is the name of Jesus used by Muslims. If he were Christian, he would be named Yasu! (the arabic form which Christians use)
