Get an English man to ask if he can bum a fag in the bay area, and tell me English has any consistency. Latin is used in medicine and in law for the same reason the church used it for so long. It is precise and unchanging. Just as wearing professional clothes will alter the way you carry yourself and the way you act, so will use of latin affect your reverence. Jews STILL use Hebrew during their rituals. It connects them to the past. Latin connects us to the Church's past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-72735008400006676842014-06-06T22:49:36.957-04:002014-06-06T22:49:36.957-04:00It's not the language itself but the strength ...It's not the language itself but the strength of the old blessings and verbiage used in those prayers.

The church almost certainly originally prayed in Aramaic (perhaps with some very early congregations using Koine.)<br /><br />There is nothing "magical" about a language being used. God responds to the cries of our hearts, in whatever language they reach him. Why would the Creator of the Universe care to designate one language as having primacy over the others?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-20013761855287505692009-11-29T11:06:24.245-05:002009-11-29T11:06:24.245-05:00That the devil hates prayer in Latin and that the ...That the devil hates prayer in Latin and that the satanic "mass" is in Latin is no contradiction. Fr. Amorth does not state that the devil hates Latin itself, but that he hates *prayer* in Latin. Probably for the very reason you pointed out--he only apes things that have substance to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-77067607573264331442008-01-14T10:23:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:23:00.000-05:00I agree with Mr S.

If you look at what is said and done in the black mass, you'll see that essentially the Latin is used to invoke the opposite of the Catholic Church. This becomes, then, a lie which we all know Satan is very capable of. In this form he may tolerate the latin. But, per the Exorcist that was interviewed at the Vatican not to long ago (and his name escapes me) Latin prayer used as Catholics use it is very effective against Satan. Look at St Benedicts medal and what the letters mean, in Latin, to drive off Satan.<BR/><BR/>Vatican II itself dictated that the Latin will be preserved. Where did it go? Ask the bishops. Jesus admonished the "priests" of the Jews for the same violation of the faith. In fact, Paul makes a statement on this in his 2nd letter to Timothy, ch4:1-5 or 6. Who is our shepherd? Apparently WE don't really have one if we rely on the bishops. Oh, yes, there are a few that may be still around that have kept the faith, but the majority are shepherds who lead the flock astray.<BR/><BR/>The Pope? Well, for me he is the only one I will listen to. And only in his teaching. It is very sad when one can no longer trust the words of those who are supposed to be shepherds. High level philosophy, distortion of translation, changing words and rites to adapt to what they want all the work of Satan. Now I ask you. When we prayed in Latin, and I mean really prayed not mimick the words, was the widespread abuse of our Faith evident? Did the Satanists make a more vocal and open appearance to the public (remember Black Sabath?). Was there more open verbal attacks on the Church for its Faith? I remember these things. Why don't we hear them today? I tell you, it's because Satan is way ahead of us and is winning more souls than we can imagine. Why do you think Jesus wanted the Divine Mercy Congregation and the prayers and the feast? Why does he call us to pray? Why are there people who have no one to pray for them? The few that are left are over burdened but it is a cross that must be carried. Prayer for those known and unknown, keeping with the true and "pure" traditions of the Church, trying to teach and inform those of the need to follow the truth and to eliminate error and neglect. None of us are perfect, but there are those who ignore all for their own satisfaction. Paul states this clearly, and it is not just the people of the congregation but priests and bishops, as well.<BR/><BR/>I pray for all those I know and for those who have no one to pray for them. I am no better than any of you and probably less important, but I hope that my small and insignificant effort will help me when my time is up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-71776572960180333962008-01-13T10:21:00.000-05:002008-01-13T10:21:00.000-05:00A fascination with the occult, with Satan, with th...A fascination with the occult, with Satan, with the things not of Christ is too strong to be taken lightly. <BR/><BR/>It should be sadly amazing how many people (especially the young) have weak minds which thrive on these forms of evil....... but when we look at how many leave the Church for various forms of "easy-believism" that number far surpasses the "Black-Mass" proponents.<BR/><BR/>True strength comes from Christ alone, and from the Mass which reveres Him which must be protected for the "monument" it is (per Fr. Ripperger's insight).<BR/><BR/>It is said (Fr Hardon, Fr Corapi, etc) that each of the angels have special talents. Lucifer's includes the use of music. No wonder there is music like that from Black Sabbath, etc that has perverted our young.<BR/><BR/>Please Lord, let their be a resurgence of Chant, of Latin, of vertical reverance.<BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
