I suggest you read Veterum Sapientia by Pope John XXIII, and Sacrificium Laudis of Pope Paul VI.

No, people do not “get more” by hearing the vernacular. They get less. But it has been allowed for pastoral reasons. In fact, Sacrosanctum Concilium called for the retention of Latin and for the introduction of the vernacular in a small part of the Liturgy (readings, some prayers), but indult after indult, the entirety of the liturgy is now in the Vernacular.

Another good reading is this article by Dom Prosper Gueranguer OSB, one of the greatest liturgists of the Church. He takes a harsh stance because he is criticizing the protestant hatred for the Latin language, which is very different from the pastoral motivations by which the Church introduced the vernacular.

It’s ok 🙂 Just please read more on the topic 🙂 I am very grateful for the presence of the vernacular in the liturgy, as commanded by the Holy Spirit through the Council! But I don’t forget the critical significance that the sacred non-vernacular language of the Church has on the faith itself.
