In her bosom we behold how the Holy Spirit has “gathered all the nations from out of the babel of tongues into the unity of faith.” Being formed of “all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,” she constitutes but one family of God, one kingdom of Christ, a kingdom not of this world, but exalted above every nation of the earth.
Thanks Lydia for the freat article. As far as the Latin Pater Noster goes. That is fairly run of the mill at the Vatican. If you look back at Francis' Masses I suspect you would find a fair number of Latin Pater Nosters.
Second, in the United States at least, EWTN normalized the sometimes praying of the Pater Noster and Agnus Dei in Latin at least among a certain species of conservative Novus Ordo goers a long time ago.
But the Latin would very rarely go any farther than that and there were plenty of times where it wasn't even used there. So this wasn't any dramatic gesture on Bob Prevost's part and those who are making it out to be so are being highly disingenuous.

Wonderful essay, Lydia!
