i never understood how Latin dominated the catholic church for so long until the 60's... how can a religion function when nearly all the believer can't understood the religious text nor the services cause they were all in a dead language known only to the priests? and how did catholics become so fanatical between the 15th and 18th centuries when they couldn't understand anything about their religion?
and why latin of all languages? just because it was the language of Rome? wouldn't Hebrew or Greek have been truer languages as they were the original languages of the bible? latin bibles were nothing but second hand translations...
