This is very true, Steven.  Jesus spoke the language(s) of the day and never separated Himself from everyone else until His death, resurrection and Ascension took Him to heaven.  What He left behind, for us to celebrate in remembrance, was His teachings and His Presence in the Eucharistic.  There is no need - never really was one - to conduct the Liturgy in anything other than the local vernacular.  It was the full-throttle swing to a clerical-caste Church that the non-ordained were left silent and excluded.  Thank God for Pope Francis, who now gives Sacrosanctum Concilium new and fresh life once more after decades of neglect disguised as theology (that "theology" being used as regressive persuasion of destruction of reforms of all kinds).  This is an exciting time for our common prayer - the celebration of the Mass.  True Liturgists can safely come back out now and revise the mess we have now in that Prayer.
