On Demons à la Catholics.

So why is it that demons always speak Latin? 
What mechanism caused all of the eternal evils of the underworld to band together and learn Latin?

I mean obviously Catholics can talk to God in Latin because I imagine He'd be able to understand any language. So, why aren't the demons speaking in super old demon-speak that Catholic priests can't understand, or if they plan on communicating, why don't they use another language? What's with all this "jesus
rex interfectus est!"
Why can't they man up and learn English? 
Seriously. Is there some mystical reason why all the demons happen to speak the language that is only marginally known outside academic circles because it happens to be the language of the church?
If I were a demon, I would learn Swahili or something. Why would I, as a hater of the church, conform to their language choice?
It's preposterous, Catholics. Change your story. I know you're great at retconning. I think it also helped when you didn't allow people to read or own a Bible in their own language for fear that they'd "misunderstand". Right.

  1. Demons have the power to speak in tongues, just like angels. Maybe it's just harsher to insult someone in a language they can understand.

  2. So, why not their native language?
    Are you sure that Catholic demons speak in tongues?
    I feel like that's a mainly Pentecostal kind of thing.

  3. By the someone I mean't God. Isn't that why Catholics learn Latin? Because it is God's favorite language of something.
