Why the Church Uses Latin — and Why It Still Matters

Why does the Catholic Church use Latin in the Mass—and why does it still matter today? Is Latin a “dead language,” or does it play a vital role in preserving Christian faith, doctrine, and unity? In this episode of The Bulwark, Fr. Greg Luger explains the historical and theological reasons the Church has used sacred language in the liturgy—from the early Greek Mass of the first Christians to Latin as the Church’s universal liturgical language prior to Vatican II. He calmly and respectfully addresses common objections, including claims that Latin is outdated, that Catholicism is a “Roman hijacking” of biblical Christianity, or that God opposes religion itself.
