The modified Latin the Church developed was probably because they had found certain syllables and inflections were able to ease the mind or "soul" of those raised in certain European cultures (that being several of the languages are rooted in Latin). So if someone is spazzing out, the priest can come in and "exorcise a demon" to get them to stop. If it has the ability to help calm the spirit or mind, then it should be kept.
Other cultures manage to perform similar with their specific texts/inflections. Maybe there's a psychological aspect to language that humans evolved with that allows this to work

From my research there is actually some evidence that speaking prayers in Latin elicits similar effects as doing breathework (Pranayama) does. The words and their cadence can connect you with the divine. And this is all related to how you are breathing when reciting in Latin. The power of the human breathe is really fascinating to study. James Nestor wrote a book called Breath and it is a good introduction into the power of conscious breathing.
It's an attempt to stop losing numbers. I've enjoyed being blocked on Truth just by correcting Bible verses, and their meaning. That's English. Biblical illiteracy is awful. People banish demons in many ways.
But are they all the same Mass if they are all in different languages? The Latin Mass gives the Church a unifying feature that no matter where in the world you are you will hear the same.
demons ban the language that can reveal them

Any church worried about numbers can simply stick to the local language. There is no attendance justification for banning it.
The Catholic church has everyone around the world focused on the same mass at the same time. That's a whole lot of focused energy.

The churches that were growing were the traditional latin ones with young families and 7 kids each.
The boomer guitar masses are dying.
Laughs in Anglican “mass If you think the Catholic Church is screwed, you should see the CoE, both high and low…
In a way, it's just being supplanted with a different state religion that's been pushed hard for a few years now.
My family members go to mega churches. They're growing faster.
