Does the Devil hate Latin?

  You do know Satanists intentionally use Latin, right?  Our Lord preached in Aramaic and used Hebrew in the Synagogue, his conversation with Pilate was most likely in Greek.  So, why do some Catholics have this obsession with Latin?  Partially, because they don't know any better.  It is a language that was used for so long for the Mass (only in the west, by the way), so it must be important.  Indeed, it is.  It was the lingua franca in the western Roman empire, even during the time of Christ, but Greek was widely known.  In fact, the liturgy in Rome was in Greek until about the 3rd century. Does this mean Greek is holier than Latin?  Not at all, just that it's been used in liturgy longer.  I see people act like Satan hates Latin.  No, not in my Bible, not in Church teaching, and a good example of magical thinking.  The Devil hates holiness, does not matter what language you are holy in.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A1-11&version=RSVCE.  Do not misunderstand me, I do not dislike Latin or have a problem with it, but the Latin only attitude reminds me a lot of the Pharisees.

I have a book coming

  I have been working on it for sometime.  I don't want it to be too long or too short, I want people to not feel ripped off.  It is an apologetics book, but I try not to get too deep into things I am unfamiliar with.  It will probably be the only apologetics book I will ever write.  I want to write a book on the Wisdom books of the Old Testament.  I am not going to ask for your money, but please, pray for me.
