Making sense of words

And Bishop Magee celebrates Mass in Latin. I presume The Irish Times is confused in how it reports the event in today's newspaper.

What is all this about the language in which Mass is celebrated? Is all prayer not a form of talk, communication with God?

Of course we can use all forms of gestures to express ourselves, but surely once we use words we are expected to know what they mean for ourselves and those to whom they are directed.

What's this new-style dressing-up about?

Is there not something remarkably significant in the fact that Bishop Magee celebrated Mass in Latin in Cobh Cathedral?
