Latin.

                                                                             `+JMJ+
ok so as we all know aside from being Nazarene i am a devout Catholic. one of the things in the Catholic Church i have been most blessed by is the Traditional Latin Mass. I believe that a service option for the CotN should be given in Latin. there are arguments that one can not properly worship in a language that is not native to them, but this confuses me. I am commonly told it is not the words that matter, but rather the state of your heart. now this is a contradiction on the part of the CotN, personally I agree with the heart argument. while i am not saying that people should not learn Latin if they celebrate the mysteries in the language, but rather that is exactly what should happen. the point is that I and may people like be believe that Latin fosters a love for our blessed lord, and a reverence for his body, blood, soul, and divinity in the lord's supper.
