Question:
Did the medieval Church ever make it illegal to write down any language but Latin? I saw this claim being made on the internet.
Answer:
No, the Catholic Church has never outlawed the writing of any language. While Latin has been used as an official language of the Church, the official language of liturgy, and for official translations, the Church never forbade other languages from being used in other contexts or situations.
