    The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

        The intent of keeping it in Latin was to keep it from regular people. The Latin is in no way original language, it was preserved as a barrier. The Catholic Church is going to have a lot to answer for on judgement day. Me too honestly, but at least I’m not trying to gatekeep the gospel.
