When she needed to see a doctor, she found an older gentleman from India. They couldn't communicate at first, so her friend came into the treatment room to translate. But then they realized they both spoke Latin, which had been required study in University for both of them, her in the Sciences in Budapest, him in Medicine in India (not sure what city in his case.)

They wanted us to know that Latin was still a living language that was more that just repetitive prayers and hymns.

polýMATHY, I am a Catholic priest who happily celebrates the traditional Latin Mass. I very much enjoy improving my Latin by watching your quality videos, especially those on ecclesiastical Latin. Yes, Latin is still the official language of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. For example, the Code of Canon Law (a corpus of work which regulates the inner workings of the Church) was written in Latin and then translated into the vernacular. If there is any doubt or disagreement about some understanding of the law, the Latin text prevails, not the translation. Also, please Google the document "Veterum Sapientia" written by Pope John XXIII in 1962 (yes, it's available in English). It's all about the promotion, study, and enduring importance of Latin in the modern Church.

@@michaelrutz8056 Many/most dioceses in the United States (such as mine, the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin) have continued to allow existing regular celebrations of the Traditional Latin Mass. Our previous Bishop celebrated it himself and was very supportive. We have a new bishop who is also very wonderful but does not celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass and has nothing either especially for or against it. While MANY of the seminarians of our diocese learned both forms of the Mass in past years, it's not clear that will continue after Traditionis Custodes. One friend of mine in his twenties recently joined a community of consecrated life called the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest that only celebrates the Traditional Latin Mass, and is going to seminary to become a priest for them. Their seminary is in Italy. It's good to know there are German Catholics who are more interested in the TLM than the Synodal Way! Germany needs you! My own favorite is the Novus Ordo Missae in Latin. My parish has that one time per week, on Monday nights. Vatican II says the faithful should know how to say or sing together in Latin the parts of the Mass that pertain to them, so I consider it important as a Catholic lay person to be able to participate fully in the Mass in Latin. Happy feast day today of Pope St Gregory the Great, who reformed the Latin liturgy and collected the ecclesiastical chants we call Gregorian Chant! That's definitely a rich part of our Latin Catholic heritage, the Second Vatican Council calls it "a treasure of inestimable value." It's more fully implemented in the Traditional Latin Mass and sadly with the rarest exceptions you only hear bits and pieces of it in the Novus Ordo Missae.

He didn't answer but smiled back. Being the sort of guy who is friendly and eager to talk to people, I asked him in French if he spoke French, then in German the same question but with the same result. I then hit on the idea of trying Latin (which I'd studied at school for 7 years), which I did, using words that were not a routine part of the classical language I'd studied but, bit by bit, we managed an exchange - of sorts. For those who treat Latin as a "dead language", this episode was a vivid illustration that the opposite is true.

@bomcabedal 2 года назад

I think that the "dead" bit refers to the fact that the language no longer really develops; it is now mainly one that exists in writing, not in oral exchange. And beside that, language is a means of communication. The occasional priest that speaks Latin does not constitute a community, and one can doubt whether that turns the language "alive" again.

@-Glove- 2 года назад

Latin being dead is actually the best thing about it. Because it has such a low rate of development the language never really changes and allows for older documents to be interpreted as to the original intent. If in the far future our modern languages change the church documents of today will remain accurate as to their intent if the priesthood continues speaking Latin.

Yes, Latin remains the official language -- the language of liturgy and record -- for the Catholic Church. In fact, religious orders, such as the Jesuits, would conduct ALL of their seminary training in Latin, and, I believe, casual conversation as well. Up until the 1960s, when bishops got together, they would converse in Latin. When Latin was dropped from the curricula, of course, it became hard to continue this. Early in the Pontificate of John-Paul II, a group of American bishops were making their "ad limina" visit to the Pope. At their first group gathering, he started to address the group in Latin. After a few moments, an assistant of his interrupted him, and advised him that the bishops could not understand him. He allegedly exclaimed "These are bishops?!", and then switched to English.

It was a nail in the coffin of the Hungarian Kingdom, when Latin was announced as non-official language any more, all the Nationalities wanted to use their own language. Still, Latin was a primary language in high schools (gymnasiums) even until 1945, or so. I guess Hungary/Croatia was the last bastion of preserving Latin.

Most of the Catholic gimnasiums in Hungary has latin classes. In my school, we had to choose a more common language (like english, german, italian, french, etc.) as a ‘first foreign language’ but we had to learn Latin for 4 years additionaly. After the first 4 year we had to choose between learning for 4 more years of latin or beginning to learn an another foreign language for 4 years. It’s a pretty well balanced system I suppose..

I remember there was a relevant episode in "La Tregua", an autobiographic novel by Primo Levi, who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and then liberated at the end of the war. In the novel he talks about his long trip to go back home in Italy, as the Russians who had liberated the prisoners pretty much didn't really know what to do with them. In one occasion he and his travel companions meet a priest with whom they can't speak any language - he doesn't understand Italian, German, Russian or English. They're about to despair, then Levi thinks back to his high school studies, and manages to put together a few words of Latin, and that's how they finally understand each other.

Similarly in Evelyn Waugh's "Sword of Honour" trilogy, where the protagonist, while serving in Yugoslavia, learns that his wife was killed in an air raid on London, and has only Latin as a common language with the priest: "Hic est pro missa. Uxor mea mortua est. Miles anglicus catholicus sum."

@@lucasgrey9794 no one has chosen whether to go or stay. Levi writes in his book that all healthy prisoners were taken away.

@JustRolly 2 года назад

I’m Italian and my dad used to tell me that, when he was a kid, every Mass was in Latin. Then I guess there was a year when they changed and opted for an Italian translation and now masses are in Italian only. Still, for very special occasions such as Christmas, and in very big and renowned churches (like my city’s cathedral, the Duomo of Modena) there are still masses entirely in Latin. I studied this beautiful language in high school alongside Ancient Greek. I believe studying Latin and Greek trains your brain and mind in a way no other language does. Keep up the good work I love these videos! ❤️

@rtyria 2 года назад

Yes, there was a movement to have a Mass in the vernacular in the late 60's (perhaps earlier). Paul VI's Missal (1970) was the first to be completely in the vernacular.

@terrikatz4854 2 года назад

The change happened in the 1960s at Vatican II. After Vatican II, Masses throughout the world are now conducted in their local languages, the "vernacular." The idea of a "catholic" religion was that it was the same throughout the entire world; that is the definition of the word "catholic". A Catholic could go anywhere in the world and understand mass in a common language, latin. Today, if you try to go to mass in a country where you don't speak the local language, you're out of luck.

@raphaelledesma9393 2 года назад

To be fair, the need to preach or teach in Latin came around the same time that Latin was the academic language of Western Europe. When Latin ceased to be the language of instruction, priests also didn't need to learn how to speak it. The ability to read, and to a limited degree write, Latin is of course still important for purposes of reading old Christian texts, the Summa of St Thomas Aquinas, etc and for those in charge of writing the Holy See's official correspondences and letters. Though perhaps they'd be a bit more used if the Latin Mass is used more often too.
