What does the phrase Paris is worth the mass mean?

It means it's worth doing something you don't agree with, if as a result you get some excellent outcome. In this case it was supposedly said by French king Henri the Fourth. He was a Protestant Christian but reluctantly joined the Catholic Church in order to win the acceptance of his French subjects. That is to get Paris, the French capital, it was worth saying Mass, the Catholic church service. There is no evidence he ever said this.

What was the benefit of writing in the vernacular?

Before writing in the vernacular the people that weren't educated didn't know Latin. And when the Church changed the Mass being said in Latin to the language of the country/ the people, the people could understand what was being said. the vernacular helped the people understand what was going on. I'm not sure if you're talking about the Church exactly, and you're probably not. So, by writing in vernacular people could understand what they were reading. But educated people were able to read and write, while also being able to speak Latin.

Why do you say that the blood of the martyrs is the lifeblood of the church?

The expression is a paraphrase of Tertullian [160-220 AD], one of the early Church Fathers. The Church had been suffering sporadic prosecution by the Romans and Tertullian, a brilliant theologian, wrote to the Emperor and one of the things he said was, 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.' The implication was that the more you kill the stronger we become. This proved literally to be true, as more than three million lives were lost during the times of Roman persecution, but by the end of the era fully one tenth of the empire had coverted to Christianity or some seven million persons.
