Bill Murray on the Latin Mass

"I tend to disagree with what they call the new mass. I think we lost something by losing the Latin. Now if you go to a Catholic mass even just in Harlem it can be in Spanish, it can be in Ethiopian, it can be in any number of languages. The shape of it, the pictures, are the same but the words aren’t the same...there’s a vibration to those words. If you’ve been in the business long enough you know what they mean anyway...And I really miss the music – the power of it, y’know? Yikes! Sacred music has an affect on your brain... [Instead, now you hear] folk songs … top 40 stuff … oh, brother…"
-Bill Murray, Actor
