Mormons are terribly polite--so polite, I find it hard to be anything but polite in return. How do they do that? :)
Well, I can remember a time when the Mass was in Latin--and I can remember the switch to English--and ever since that time I've longed for a return to Latin. I like the long history; the tradition of religion too. The "relevancy" issue--you are quite right to me was part of the great loss I feel. It's hard to explain--religion isn't supposed to be about you; it's supposed to be bigger than you. Does that make any sense? Like the language change--I didn't understand Latin but I understood.
