What a freak show! Most significantly was this excerpt: “the pontiff issued his motu proprio Traditionis Custodes imposing draconian restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) — blaming it for triggering division in the Church.”

MOTU PROPRIO TRADITIONIS CUSTODES

What language is that? Swahili?

How come Frank gets to spout off in Latin but not anyone else? Self-respecting hypocrites are embarrassed to be seen out with such transparent duplicitousness. They take pride in their work. But this is a fertile field. In the link was an interview of sorts; here's a short excerpt.

1. This is something that has not happened in the history of the human race. FALSE. It is precisely how catholicism got started and for almost exactly the same reason. @0:10

2. There were regions of the world that were predominately this or that, and there wasn't much contact across them. FALSE. From Alexander the Great to Julius Caesar, a period of three centuries, there was an enormous amount of contact, intermingling and influence. @0:25

This coin, late 1st century BC, although Judaean has a Greek inscription, identifying Tyre (a Phoenician effort) but minted in the former Israel. Additionally, their scriptures all appeared in Greek and New Testament authors quote from those texts as well as writing in Greek themselves. Alexander really got quite far before pegging out and in all directions intercultural crossing over is extremely well documented.

Now I'd expect “the pontiff” to know all that, since a pope is sort of the Dean of the Faculty in his field. He doesn't actually have anything to do other than make-work so there's plenty of time and a massive library. He must know what a pontiff is (there were several in pagan Rome) which brings us to..

3. When did this all take place? At the time of Greek cultural imperialism——which swamped Rome with its gods and goddesses necessitating new Latin names for them but the statues stayed the same as the pope also knows because his joint is full of them——there was not only cross-cultural conversation. Various schools of philosophy explored new ideas (philosophy itself wasn't new of course) particularly the idea of offering explanations without gods for things like astronomy, atomic theory, mathematics, geometry, various machines designed by Archimedes and Heron, all very effective. The heads of the temples must have seen their influence crumbling——or at least having the potential to crumble——and they could communicate much better with one another than the hoi polloi were able to, even the philosophers were few in number and knew each other's stuff to some extent (Paul was able to mention them which would be pointless if nobody knew who they were) all of which resulted in a hybrid Graeco-Roman religious order and the demise of the philosophers.

If the same thing is happening now, as the pontiff must see it, and in India, they need to put their heads together and cook up some new stuff. So this is NOT has not happened in the history of the human race. It is NOT and there wasn't much contact across them. But as for a Latin pronouncement telling people not to speak Latin, why don't they just carry on anyway? It never put anyone off before. They all excommunicated each other a thousand years ago!
