Iatray Ogblay

For those Reformed Catholics whose command of idiomatic English may be a mite rusty do to regular attendance at Latin Mass, I have prepared a translation in my best Ciceronian Pig-Latin of my most recent reply to Owen so that our separated Reformed Catholic brethren will have the benefit of a Latin-English edition to guide them through English as a second language:

Aulpay Owenway ashay ustjay ostedpay “Omesay Oughtsthay onway
Aptistsbay.”

Afterway avinghay identifiedway imselfhay asway away “

Aptistbay andway ethay Ormonmay aithfay. Ivengay ishay ighhay

atthay, ybay ishay ownway ightslay, away Ormonmay ancay ebay
away uetray elieverbay inway Esusjay Istchray, ethay ospectspray
areway esslay anthay omisingpray.

Eforebay oceedingpray urtherfay, ermitpay emay otay aylay ymay

Etlay emay alsoway aysay atthay althoughway Iway amway otnay,

Owenway enthay offersway away otway-aragraphpay ebuttalray ofway
Aptistbay ecclesiologyway andway acramentologysay. Iway ustmay
aysay atthay Iway onday’tay eesay ethay ointpay ofway isthay

Iway onway’tay aketay imetay otay ommentcay onway etherwhay

Osay orfay Owenway otay osstay esethay offway, asway ifway

otnay away erioussay argumentway. Osay owhay isway ethay
audienceway orfay isthay upposedsay otay ebay? Orfay osethay
owhay alreadyway agreeway ithway Owenway, andway onday’tay
arecay owhay oorpay ethay easonsray areway?

Iway’day alsoway ikelay otay ommentcay onway oneway atementstay
inway articularpay: “Otay ejectray infantway aptismbay isway
otay utcay oneselfway offway omfray ethay istorichay Atholiccay

Ownay, evenway ifway ouyay upportsay infantway aptismbay, isthay

Ethay eryvay actfay atthay ethay Otestantpray Eformersray

Ownay, enwhay ifferentday aedobaptistspay offerway ifferentday
