They just named the new Pope after *ME*! ;)

 

But the pope (any pope) is a very modern and progressive man compared
to you.

  I don't think that Pius XII was. Ask Ed. "Real Catholics" enjoy the
services in Latin. At least they did when I was a kid.
I knew a man once, who rejected Catholic Reform. He and his wife
attended the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) to avoid having to hear
services in English. I blame Pope John and the Second Vatican Council.
Ed, take it from here!
 

The problem was how it was taught, or more accurate, how it was not taught.  The mass in latin is more eloquent, but, going to Catholic school were were never told what the words meant and what was going on up there on the alter.  Perhaps other schools were better.
I may have had a better attitude about if is someone told me what Et cum spiritu tuo meant early on.
Dominus vobiscum
