I like Mass better in Latin. It’s nicer when you don’t know what they’re saying.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker says Mass is more enjoyable in Latin because its words are not understood. This reverses the usual assumption that understanding improves an experience. The remark gives unfamiliar language its own appeal, while leaving open exactly what about the understood words makes the service less pleasant.
