The Church decided to retranslate the mass from a vernacular that is common in the USA, to one that comes from the Latin, more common to people who used to or even now use Latin. Will it take? Young people seem enthrall edgy it because it is "different" special, unique. It is like being in a special club. How long this will enthrall them I don't know. Is it open to evangelizing? It seems to me that if you want to evangelize, you adapt or inculturation somehow to the culture of the indigenous people. Dowe really want a special language. We are not an occult group with special handshakes.
The events of our faith took place in the middle east or what we might call the orient from western Europe. The dogma, the theology that explained the events come out of Greek and Latin thinking. Why? Because we were talking to Europeans. Use thei language and way of thinking. So why not do the same for the USA?
