The other thing I was thinking as I listened to the caller questioning whether one can "fully participate" if Latin is used, is that in the EF Mass, the laity doesn't even hear most of the prayers the priest says. So...focus on the English translation in your missal or little red book if necessary! Pretty soon you'll find yourself learning Latin! And I think Fr. R also made the point that the Latin one needs to know for the responses etc is not really all that much, and not that hard to learn.<br />Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927474235629912604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-32936402787737756802012-09-01T15:57:34.586-07:002012-09-01T15:57:34.586-07:00Father also mentioned Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi - T...Father also mentioned Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi - The law of prayer is the law of belief. Most importantly, this determines how we decide to live. <br /><br />I would like to expand on some reasons the Church uses Latin: <br /><br />Latin is an unchangeable (dead) language. Living, spoken languages change perpetually. The Church, enlightened by the Holy Ghost, has chosen a language that is not liable to such changes (except, of course, when you have lame duck translations!). Notice the liberties that the clergy has taken with the vernacular?! <br /><br />Pope Pius XII, Mediator Dei:"The use of the Latin language prevailing in a great part of the Church affords at once an imposing sign of unity and an effective safeguard against the corruption of true doctrine."<br />HSEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-5633685295860251932012-09-01T15:32:20.556-07:002012-09-01T15:32:20.556-07:00I missed the interview so thanks for your re-cap. ...I missed the interview so thanks for your re-cap.
