It is the christian language though... A while ago the bible was in latin.
Edit: the catholic bible
The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
The Bible was translated to Latin by St Jerome in the 300s
The intent of keeping it in Latin was to keep it from regular people. The Latin is in no way original language, it was preserved as a barrier. The Catholic Church is going to have a lot to answer for on judgement day. Me too honestly, but at least I'm not trying to gatekeep the gospel.
Latin was a widely spoken language in the 300s
language of the catholic church more specifically then
And the Catholic church more specifically still!
I think he meant the Catholic Bible
