/lit/ - Literature

Look, I don't have much of a stake in the whole Catholic vs. Orthodox fight. As an "outsider," though, I often think: Isn't it absurd that Latin is taught in so many Christian schools across the world... instead of Greek (the language of the Old Testament)? In fact, why not teach Greek and Hebrew and just ditch Latin altogether (except for scholars).

I can't help but think that Rome's excessive pride helped lead to this current (non-ideal) situation. In fact, Rome could start promoting Greek *starting right now* if they so chose to. This would be a great boon for Christianity overall.
