text: Language changes, albeit slowly (or in our time, no so slowly). We think inside our language. While we can mostly understand the language Pius IX and St Pius X, they could not possbily understand ours, even translated. We can get Hawthorne (which I enjoy) and the Bard, but the Bard would go into fits. Until he learned, he could not think in our language. This is why we resort to Latin. Of course, that is no solution because even if you mouth it like I mouth most Latin sheet music, the translation must conform to what is my head or I will simply self-translate anyway. That also applies to relating modern concepts to the ancient, for example, it is likely that Christ would have understood the Holy Spirit as Shekinah, as rendered in Hebrew. While Who is appropriate in some places in reference to Her, She should be used when it is not. Latin lets us make that choice, although confronting why will bring up lots of Mmysogynisic viewpoints. Healthy.
