...the Pope's a bit full-on, isn't he? Y'know, what with the part where Protestants can't call themselves a church, or whatever.
And I can understand people wanting the tradition etc of a Latin Mass, but what's the point? I mean, the general Mass-attending public is unlikely to be fluent in Latin, and while surely they will understand what is being said (I presume), where is the value in having it in a foreign language? Is Latin God's first language or something?
