Zone1 Have you taken part in church services held in other than your mother language?

[Zebra]

I like to attend Mass in other than my own language.
It is pleasant to understand what is going on, even if it is not in your mother language.

 

[luiza]

Many .
So what?
Always interested to see how different sorts of Cultists wrap up their medication .

A Dominican preacher at a church my wife used to go to did some of the services in Spanish once, and I was like "WTF dude"?

Have been to one mostly Latin Mass. There is an African Mass near here, but I haven't attended there yet.

[Seymour Flops]

About a year ago, I was in Round Rock, Texas. We visited a church service that was held in the Biergarten of a German restaurant. They served Mimosas and Bloody Marys. My kind of church!

The preacher preached a sermon in English, but the prayers he led were in German.

I assume it was Lutheran, but that's just a guess.

He talked about the world gone haywire stuff that Baptists talked about when I was a kid. He said, "If a boy came to school dressed as an Indian, they'd expell him. But if he comes to school dressed as a girl, they'd tell him that he really is a girl and call him by a girl's name.

I try to remember ....

I have attended Mass in these languages other than German:

English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Basque, Italian, Greek, Russian, Sorbian, Arabic, Vietnamese, Polish, and Ladin, a minority language spoken in parts of South Tyrol and Switzerland

You will be pleased to know the Spanish Church is in disarray .
Attendances plummeting etc

They want the old fashioned subserviant rituals and thinking left alone .

Our old friend Cognitive Rigidity mixed wirh gullibility once Project Chaos is inserted as a disrupter .

 

[Polishprince]

Sure, back in the day all of the masses were Latin. And then I went to Polish language masses after the Vatican council, which is legitimately my language although I only know a bit of the vernacular in Polish.

Yes, Spanish..often.
Oh, then there's the tongue-speakin' Roly Poly church. Yeah, idk who understands that stuff.
We call it the "Roly Poly" church cuz they be rollin' in the aisles and talking in "tongues".
Me and my buddy escaped from that one.

Other then Latin, we attended Mass in Spanish a few time when kids were in school. Everything was normal until communion, where instead of going up row by row people just sorta went up whenever.

I actually find Church far more enjoyable if I don't understand what they are saying.

I go to my wife's church about once a month, and the service is conducted mostly in Mandarin.

Sadly, they put up a translation app on a big screen for two or three people who have American Husbands.

Fortunately, it's Google Translate, that often comes up with amusing translation errors.

btw .....

the Mass in Arabic was held by Catholic Arabians who have fled from the Middle East and come to Germany

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Sure, I have been to English language services.

That's the one that's difficult for me to digest. I watch many of the big Masses on EWTN, where so many different languages are used, and Arabic just makes me start, kind of.

i mostly could tell what was going on

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Sure, back in the day all of the masses were Latin.

Fiat Looks et Fiat Feels

The Church could have easily taught all its students that Latin and even its grammar.
