<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>If someone had never been to a Mass (in any
language) then that one might fly, otherwise it's a weak
argument. If you were traveling out of the country would you avoid
going to Mass just because you didn't understand every word the priest
spoke? I doubt it because you are familiar with the format and what is
happening and when. Actually, that is one of the best reason to have
the Mass in Latin. </FONT></STRONG></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There I must agree. I've been to a Novus Ordo
Latin Mass, which was quite comprehendable even though I only had 2 years of
school Latin at the time. I've been to Mass in Swazi, which I don't
understand at all, but I knew what was going on. I've even to a Malakaran
Orthodox service, which is not like ours, but Eastern rite, and they have their
Catholic equivalents. Even there, I could follow, even though it was a
rite I'd never been to, and in a language I'd never heard.</FONT></DIV>
