_I write to the Churches, and impress on them all, that I shall willingly die for God, unless you hinder me. I beseech you not to show an unseasonable good will towards me. Suffer me to become food for the wild beasts, through whose instrumentality it will be granted me to attain to God. I am the wheat of God, and let me be ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of Christ. Rather entice the wild beasts, that they may become my tomb, and may leave nothing of my body; so that when I have fallen asleep [in death], I may be no trouble to any one. Then shall I truly be a disciple of Christ, when the world shall not see so much as my body. Entreat Christ for me, that by these instruments. I may be found a sacrifice to God. I do not, as Peter and Paul, issue commandments unto you. They were apostles; I am but a condemned man: they were free, while I am, even until now, a servant. But when I suffer, I shall be the freed-man of Jesus, and shall rise again emancipated in Him. And now, being a prisoner, I learn not to desire anything worldly or vain._

Today while I was reading Nietzsche I wasn't swayed by him like I usually am, I kept thinking about early Christian philosophy and the nature of creation

Y'all are getting to me

Should probably read the gospel too

I am lol, Starting with Matthew

Nice

Then want to read Paul's letters

I finally got my good translation bible

So I’ll get into it too

I've got the Orthodox study Bible

I’ve got the Biblia de Jerusalen because I speak Spanish and I’m Catholic

Plus it’s probably the best translation

Directly from hebrew and greek

To spanish

gotta learn latin for the vulgate lad

I know some ecclesiastical latin

Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, Gloria and the Confiteor

Prayed a rosary in mostly latin today heh

Latin is easier to learn, if you speak a Latin language like Italian, Romanian or Spanish.

Yeah

theres a reason why the reformation hit the eternal germanics harder rhan the romance groups

@Dasick
True. Even if we Romanians had the Slavic language in lithurghy, except from crucial prayers like Our Father.

a lot of the kvetching re:acceasobility of the bible/liturgy makes way more or way less sense if you can already sorta understand whats going on

@Dasick
I agree, thats also biblical, Jesus said that the apostles should teach the peoples in their languages/so that they can understand.

the tradcath insistence on latin mass is admirable, even if kinda weird from our perspective :^)

I’m ok with vernacular if done right I guess

But would definitely side with latin

Respectively because it’s the language of the Roman Rite based off the liturgy of St. Gregory the Great

If I were syriac rite then it would ideally be Aramaic

Byzantine rite, slavonic

Etc.

1 Corinthians 14:18-20

**1 Corinthians 14:18-20 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<18> I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you; <19> nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. <20> Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults. ```

>amazon synod because natives are retarded

Yes, no

@MawLr
I understand your point of view, my point of view is, that the more people understand the better it is.

Which is why I said I’m ok with vernacular if done right, unfortunately that’s a rare case
