Some Catholics have a problematic fixation with Latin in Catholic life. Let's talk about it...carefully!


A growing number of Catholics are convinced that Latin isn’t just traditional—it’s more powerful—More effective. More spiritual. Even feared by demons.
In this Firebrand Brief, I break down the real problem behind the Latin obsession—and why so many of the arguments defending it don’t hold up.
This isn’t about attacking Latin.

This is about exposing bad theology, weak arguments, and a mindset that may actually be hurting your prayer life.
Because prayer isn’t about sounding holy.
It’s about actually connecting with God.
And for most of you… that’s not happening in Latin.

When You Pray, Speak Your Language
Pray in Latin, or in your native language? Why the language you were formed in matters when you bring your heart to God. God receives the Latin, but he’s after your heart.
