Feb 16, 2017 at 17:30 comment added Ken Graham @RobertColumbia The Maronite Rite Traditionally is celebrated in either Aramaic or Arabic. In either case, Maronite Catholics employ Aramaic (the language spoken by Our Lord ) for the words of consecration. This Eastern Rite is the only Rite that has never been separated from Rome or the Roman Rite and is a great symbol of Catholic unity. The Tridentine Mass in Greek has always been permitted.
Feb 16, 2017 at 16:59 comment added Robert Columbia Thanks. But perhaps more to the point, very early Christians were overwhelmingly Aramaic and/or Greek speaking. It would have been absurd for there to have been a Latin-only rule at that time. Were Aramaic and Greek actually outlawed as Mass languages at some point (Middle Ages?) or was the actual rule more like "hey, we have enough languages already, no more translations plz kthx?" and everyone sort of agreed to stick with Latin as it was better known than the other authorized languages?
Feb 16, 2017 at 14:13 comment added Robert Columbia I would totally not be surprised if there was a rule far- predating Vatican II allowing Mass to be said in the original languages of Scripture, namely Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
