The Latin Mass is beautiful and reminds us of the mystery and otherness of God.
However, church services are not just for the choir and the already initiated, where they can meet in an exclusive clubhouse ruled by an inner circle of the "more devout".
Church services are for those who do not yet know God and His Son, to learn about Him and His incomparable power and authority over all things seen and unseen.
The service in a foreign language not seen in schools, nor in any print or broadcast media where people could learn/practice what is being said, is a barrier to those who have not been raised in the Catholic Church, and even to those who have been raised in it since the 60's.
There's a reason why Christ walked, dined and socialized "with sinners and tax collectors". We're to be among them, living out a life of thanks to Christ, not be sheltered away from them.
On a lighter note, The Villages is a GREAT place to be among sinners!!
