    I just don’t get why they called it Luce. Like that’s such fertile ground for the conspiracy theorists who are all about how the catholic church is putting out secret statements that they follow the devil.

      While the Latin mass bollocks is gone, Catholics are still expected to know a few Latin words, and Luce = light is one of them. So any conspiracy theorist who stirs shit over this can be safely dismissed as an ignoramus.

        Unfortunately not, there’s a fairly sizeable (and growing) subset of Catholics still doing everything in Latin.
