The Need for an Aramaic Mass

Posted by Honzo

While I am content to let Catholics do what they will in their pursuit of God, I think this is a bitting turn of phrase by the ever-popular Dominic Crossan, speaking on the recent Latin Mass controversy.

. . . . In terms of Roman Catholicism, our ancestors in faith began with Aramaic, changed to Greek, then tried Latin, and finally, moved into the various vernaculars. If we wish to revert to our linguistic origins, why just to Latin, why not to Aramaic with Jesus or Greek with the New Testament? . . .
