Latin Mass would give the faithful a better understanding of liturgy

I WELCOME Pope Benedict’s decision to loosen restrictions on the use of the Latin Mass. Vatican II, in fact, never called for the elimination of Latin. The Pope’s decision, therefore, is meant to foster a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the Church’s liturgy.

Latin is the official language of the Catholic Church. It is a ‘dead’ language that prevents church liberals from translating words into the vernacular using ambiguous terms that undermine church doctrine such as the use of inclusive language.

Perhaps, the greatest advantage of the Latin Mass then is that it is not open to the numerous abuses currently experienced on a regular basis with the new Mass.
