Beautiful, peaceful, an outward life of inner happiness. As a Catholic, this video makes my heart calm and serene. Very nice indeed.

If you know it means 'crazy' then don't make inaccurate statements in future, such as: '"Mad" was the word for "crazy" in Shakespeare's time. Now it means "angry."'

rebecca, while you are tossing out scriptures, you might want to look at that which begins with..."judge not lest you be judged for whatsoever..."

Yes it is indeed useful for such research, that's true, but language is always more than just a tool with which to interpret texts which is why there is a great need to discuss whether a now dead language is appropriate in expressing a living relationship of faith and worship. In such context too we need to ask if a language which was once that of prestige and power, and then one of compulsory adherence says anything about the Gospel? The Gospel conditions the practice not the other way round.

I just now got to this page,,, But do you think that you will earn points by bragging on yourself and putting someone down maybe you know the differnce of a learned and unlearned language but I guess younever learned it is easier to catch flies with honey or use this as a learning experience and teaching someone or as the scripture says a soft answer turneth away wrath instead you come off as someone who thinks he is all that

It seems that some of you did not get my point. I know that "mad" still means "crazy" today. I was merely pointing out a difference between the evolution of language and, as you pointed out, regional differences that affects the understanding of people towards the same thing. Latin is no longer affected by these evolution that it has now become universal.

Latin presents a constant in terms of understanding the vulgate & many other church documents written with it. The intended meaning & context of each writing is preserved because Latin no longer "evolves" & retains its original meaning through the centuries. We know the context & meaning of the writings because of this constant instead of wondering what the writings mean depending on the evolution of the language every time period. This does not imply, at all, that other languages are inferior.

well maybe you could restrain your knee jerk insults and simply explain the difference. |
