Thank you for this! I was especially edified by the part concerning Satan's hatred of the language and of how it is the universal language of the Church. I wish it were still true that we could attend mass anywhere throughout the world and it would be exactly the same because of the singularity of the Latin language.
Perhaps the opposition to Latin also includes a forgotten sense of the beauty of separation of the sacred from the familiar? Especially in America, where culture is so informal, it is ....(can't find right word, banal? crude?)
+++ Latin not only preserves Church doctrine, due to it's beauty it also is the most perfect language to offer God true worship... Have Mercy on us God most high.
How does a language "preserve doctrine" over another? How is one more "beautiful" than an other? How is it "perfect"? Are you suggesting that a synthetic language is "better" than an analytic one?
We catholics enjoy listening and watching Latin mass in wonder more than listening and responding in a native or English language. It teaches and reminds us many things about the mystery of the Catholic Church; and brings the memory of the history of the early Catholic church. The early Roman martyrs were called by our Lord his children that he could die a second time for them. Our Lord called the Roman Catholic Church his bride.
No "we" don't. Latin is a language I don't speak. Why would not understanding what is being said "teach" me anything? It is alienating and was properly done away with by Vatican II.
@@ManuelRennhofer No, wrong, the X is important.

God Bless Father this wonderful sermon on the Sacredness of Latin oh what Joy especially the analogical explanation necessity for the Latin in the Holy Eucharist celebration of the Mass.
We miss this kind of mass from our younger days; the atmosphere of silence and the language of Latin which up to now am familiar with. Thank God it's coming back in some churches and hope in most churches a few years from now after Pope Francis is gone.
One god, three persons One Sacred church, three divine tongues The levels on this are astounding ^^ Lets leave our Vernacular Vatican II masses, and instead go back to the true, holy Mass
The thirty Million Catholics that hv left the faith since 1970 have been spared the Abomination of the Novus Ordo , soon to be the False and Dark Church.
The sadness is in the fact that Novus Ordo COULD be prayed ad orientem and in latin but where? Priests were purposefully starved of latin in seminaries and their proclivity to obedience during formation made them think that it was "against the rules" to inquire and demand proper traditional formation.
Christ our Lord called the Roman martyrs his children ; the Catholic Apostolic Church his bride. At the Appinine hills. , Peter saw our Lord carrying the cross and asked Christ in his vision :"Quo Vadis?" Our Lord said to Peter: "I'm going to Rome " . Peter said: " But, Lord, Rome is burning!" Christ said: " I'm going to die the second time for my children in Rome. How about you, Peter.? Where agree you going? " So, Peter went back to the Roman martyrs whom the mad Nero fed to the lions for his amusements.
Tina Genovesi I appreciate the Latin mass and I love it, but I will not disparage the vernacular mass. I exhort you to avoid the extremism that some in the Latin Mass community have gotten to.
I'm wanting to ask, do you have a website I can check out? If not, would you recommend some sources to me for the Tridentine Mass, books, other resources.
A couple of questions. 1) Re silence: I'm not a choir member but I've often wondered, how do members of the choir manage time for silence during High Mass? 2) My circumstances dictate that I can only assist at a Novus Ordo Mass these days. Thoughts as to how to use the noisy church for prayer during Mass? (Noise from constant music, even the priest singing the Prayer of Consecration while facing the "audience".) Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks, Reg.
AB CD The mass can be in Aramaic. The reason why Latin became the principal language of the church was because it was the principal language of the Roman Empire and was considered a unifying and universal tongue. Also we have full scripts of Latin and can expand on it and keep developing it that’s nor quite the case with Aramaic even though it is still in use by some Christian communities.
I think it's worth mentioning that Aramaic (which was once a lingua franca and native language throughout the Levant) is the traditional liturgical language of 3 Eastern Catholic sui iuris churches: the Maronites, Syriac Catholics and Chaldean Catholics. The first two used the West Syriac dialect and the last uses the East Syriac dialect. Because their ancestors were inevitably Arabized (it is the Muslim-majority Middle East after all), West Syriac largely disappeared as a native tongue, but still survives in several parts of the Maronite and Syriac liturgies alongside hymns and chants. Chaldeans on the other hand have managed to maintain their dialect as both vernacular and liturgy.
What about all the rites in the Catholic Church that do NOT use the Latin language? Are their masses less sacred for their lack of Latin? Does the priest act "in persona Christi" at mass or not? If so, is there anything intrinsically wrong with the priest facing the people as the person of Christ? Anyone ever brought up this point to you? Is it not at least worth considering?
"May God grant us grace to love the Mass, to love latin, to love silence, and to follow the priest at Mass into the Tabernacle of eternity." this is the closing prayer..there is something important missing here..let's expound...The latin is the official language of the Church it is sacred and pure...and as St. Pius XII the Latin Mass is an imposing unity to the Church...TLM is sacred & beautiful NO DOUBTS....but upon reflections Jesus is the Head of the Church and Church is the Mystical Body of Jesus...Jesus entrusted Peter the Keys & Authority to bind & loose..Matthew16:17-ff...as evident by the words of St. Ambrose & St. Ignatius of Antioch...the Church cannot exist w/out a Pope...and all the actions of the priests must be united and subject to the Church Authority... Question#1? what if a priest celebrated the TLM together with the attendees who are not in Full Communion with the Pope & the Church, meaning they are not submitting but resisting and not acknowledging the Pope and Vatican II Church Teachings....can the Holy Sacrifice being offered be united to the Church as One Body & Spirit? the Pope definitely cannot offered it in unity with Church...the priest freely chooses not to... Question#2? Can the Priest offer the Holy Mass (TLM) by his own prayer/initiative without submitting to the Pope Authority? Question#3? Can the offered Sacrifice eventhough it's TLM can be pleasing to God if it is not united in One Body & Spirit; in the Church together with the Pope? The answer to these questions are clearly answered by the great Church Fathers...thanks to St. Ambrose & St. Ignatius of Antioch...Godbless!
FATHER, WHY HEBREW? WHY HEBREW? IVRIT SAFA' KDOSHA! HEBREW IS THE HOLY LANGUAGE!!! Acts 26:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. וַנִפּׂל כֻּלָּנוּ אָרְצָה וָאֶשְׁמַע קוֹל מְדַּבֵּר אֵלַי בְּלָשׁוֹן עִבְרִית לֵאמׂר שָׁאוּל שָׁאוּל לָמָּה תִרְדְּפֵנִי קָשֶׁה לְךָ לִבְעׂט בַּדָּרְבֹנוֹת׃
Natan Banwolf, all three are equally holy. The title "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. OT is in Hebrew, NT is in Greek and Holy Tradition is in Latin. God using Hebrew in that instance does not discredit the two other languages.
Natan Banwolf Interestinhly enough that passage you just cited was originally written in Greek, and that applies to the Old Testament that the Apostles referenced in their writings (the Septuagint).
I know. It’s the same old story, over and over again: difficult to accept the fact that G-d makes “havdalah” (I am sure this is not a Greek word, and means “distinction”). Distinction between Israel and Esau, between Joseph and his brothers, between Jews and Gentiles, between Shabbat (Sabbath) and the other days, between Hebrew (G-d’s Holy language, where every letter has a supernatural meaning) and the other tongues. Love Latin (which I studied for 9 years) but I know that, in the end of times, the Holy Mass will be celebrated in........Hebrew. Be well.
....and you probably know that it is wrong to traslate the first word of the Bible “ Bereshit”, with the expression “in the beginning”, which in Hebrew would be “Berishona’”. The exact translation is “with the word” G-d created the Heavens and the earth, which is exactly what the Apostle John states in his Gospel “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was G-d.” Do you want me to believe that that Word was Latin, the language of one of the most ferocious nations in human history, whereas the word “crucifixion” is not even part of the Hebrew language?

When the Holy Spirit prays in someone using their tongues he uses a mixture of languages. Some can be recognised, others are ancient dialects, some are utterances in the language of the Spirit himself. This cannot be understood (unless someone has the gift of interpretation) because the Holy Spirt speaks in wordless groans.
No language is sacred. Jesus didn't have his Last Supper in Latin. The very first Holy Mass was in Hebrew / Aramaic. Second language was Greek. Latin is in the third place. St. Cyril and Methodius introduced Old Slavic language into the Liturgy and they were speaking of the HERESY OF THE THREE LANGUAGES. I understand that English speaking people especially in America builded their own Catholic Identity in Protestant environment around Latin Language, but the rest of the World did not have same problem. And, by the way, we (The Holy Catholic Church) had before Tridentine Mass 1500 years of very different liturgical rites throughout Catholic Church. Roman Catholic Church is just one of the many Catholic Churches. Largest one for sure, but not the only one. If someone wants to celebrate Holy Mass in Latin, he or she should learn Latin and be able understand the Holy Mass including Scripture and Homily. Laudetur Iesus Cristus in saecula saeculorum! Amen!
Someone has forgotten that other Latin Rite mass forms dating before 1370 are still completely viabkeband usable by any traditionally ordained Latin priest............;-;
My parish NO priest said that their was nothing special about Latin and that it wasn’t even a sacred language. His reasoning was that it was a pagan language. Kyrie Eleison🤦🏽♂️
Thank you for this! I was especially edified by the part concerning Satan's hatred of the language and of how it is the universal language of the Church.

After Sunday's Trident Mass we cannot wait for the next High Mass on the next Sunday. It is Holy Mass, it is beautiful.
Thank you Father the Latin Mass is most beautiful and my soul can feel the difference! Amen!

Thanks for your great pic
It’s so great and makes me feel true holiness in these church pics seeing women wearing veils!
In calif catholic priests are hiring up to three more to speak several other languages for the congregation during the same mass!

Why was Vatican II permitted to butcher this Mass? And is there any hope of a reversal of V2?
Thank you Father
Who is this Priest? What's his name?
thanks for sticking up for Latin. We in the West are Latin Rite so we must pray in Latin at Mass. No question about it.
The sadness is in the fact that Novus Ordo COULD be prayed ad orientem and in latin but where? Priests were purposefully starved of latin in seminaries and their proclivity to obedience during formation made them think that it was "against the rules" to inquire and demand proper traditional formation.
This is foolishness. Latin is no more "pure" or "beautiful" or "expressive" than English or Russian or Japanese...
Does anyone know what Church was at 6:56?
The quote for the ages:
“LATIN PRESERVES DOCTRINE”
It sounds spiritual.
Christ our Lord called the Roman martyrs his children ; the Catholic Apostolic Church his bride.
At the Appinine hills. , Peter saw our Lord carrying the cross and asked Christ in his vision :"Quo Vadis?"
Our Lord said to Peter:
"I'm going to Rome " .
Peter said: " But, Lord, Rome is burning!"
Christ said: " I'm going to die the second time for my children in Rome. How about you, Peter.? Where agree you going? "
So, Peter went back to the Roman martyrs whom the mad Nero fed to the lions for his amusements.
The TLM is the only True Catholic Mass and the new order very much is lacking , leaving oneEmpty inside .
