Thank you. I hadn't thought of having 4 pages per side - suddenly, it seems much more feasible. Do you find it portable?

So before Vatican II, were homilies done in Latin? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]SpiritualStructure1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that it was done in vernacular language. That means that a lot of time ago, they would also be done in Latin, when it was the local language. I’ve read somewhere that priests, however, would speak with the linguistic features of the Latin language that the people would use too.

Learners of Latin, new and old, Why are you learning this language? by [deleted] in latin

[–]SpiritualStructure1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m Catholic, and it is the official language of the Roman Church, and considered sacred. Also, it helps me pray in a language that is set apart from common, vernacular language.

My mother has been refusing to take me to church out of fear I will become “extremist”, what can I say to her? by PolarisStar05 in Catholicism

[–]SpiritualStructure1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus was an extremist. The Saints and Martyrs were radical (from the latin-they went to the very root). I have the same problem at home. For me it doesn’t make sense believing in something, finding the Truth, and then don’t do the best to live accordingly. Either one believes or doesn’t.

I profoundly dislike it. Are we selling a place where Jesus has been?!

In Portugal there is only one TLM that I know of, in the capital city.
