It isn’t a knowledge of Latin that has the effect. It is having the ability to read the documents of the Church in the original language. English is not a good language for translating Latin.From what you’ve said here on this forum (several times telling me to learn Latin) I’d tend to believe that you think your “knowledge” of Latin is like “oooh” magic.
I suggest to you to learn Latin, understand Latin and read what the Church has to say in Latin. It is a language, a tool for communication. English is deficient when compared.
I also suggest reading the Bible in Latin. You can’t go wrong with the Vulgate.
Oh and the Catholic Church did invent Halloween, just so we all are on the same page. It is ALL SAINTS DAY. The night before is All Saints Eve, but of course English speakers couldn’t get it right and called it All Hallows Eve and then currupted it to a psudo-pagan thing. The origin of the holiday is celebrating all the Saints, the Church triumphant.
