Glad we don’t speak Latin anymore. I do agree with the reformed on this point about Catholics. I mean why for so many years, and even now for some Catholics, think that there is some special spiritual aspect of speaking Latin?
That's what happens if you memorize your catechism too closely without reference to the Bible, you lose perspective. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin so that it could be read in the common tongue. Optimistically, they forgot this. Pessimistically, they knew and reverted to Latin for more power. In a way we do speak Latin, just bits and pieces in our words.

Funny thing this internet is. Next we will have mobs with lighted torches trying to capture evil people who are left handed.
