I kinda thought of it as, “My native tongue is as ancient as the seas, as foundational as the mountains, as incomprehensible to you as the stars are to ants. Anyway, 2000 years ago I had to hire a guy to translate that into one of your languages just so you people could sign a fucking contract. It was a huge mess, guy took twice as long as he quoted me, legal department rejected it three times before it got approved, the whole thing went way over budget. Long story short, I’m not updating the paperwork. You can Google it if you want the fine print.”
…and using that for my next dnd campaign! Thanks!
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
I think he meant the Catholic Bible
Yep, thanks
language of the catholic church more specifically then
