Did the Greek Orthodox Church retain the Greek language?

Christians want to proselytize so they are not always frank as they should be. For them truth is the Truth of Yahweh, as with rest of the words love, peace, justice, faith, hope, reason, knowledge, science and all the other terms they use. So they tell people what they want to hear and if they are proselytised, then they will learn to accept the other facts they don't like little by little.
One lie the Greek Orthodox Christians keep repeating is that it is the accomplishment of the Church that Greeks speak greek today, so every Greek should keep believing the doctrines of the Eastern Orthodox Church; they say 'respect', but in the end it comes to total submittance to their faith.
The Eastern Church uses Greek, because it was dominant in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The Catholics always used latin and the other orthodox churches use the language of their followers. However the most striking example of the Greek Church's indifference to Hellenic Civilisation is the fact that the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, an eparchy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, stopped using Greek as a language on its homepage. Everything is only in English. Of course this won't stop them from repeating it all the time.
