Latin language and the Catholic church
Latin the universal language
I am getting married in Poland and I am an American citizen. The the Polish courts are very slow and difficult, the Catholic church is very easy to work with. On thing that would be nice if I could get all my original Church documents in Latin, so there would be no need to translate birth, confirmation etc certificates from English to Polish. In the past it was all Latin and no matter where you live your documents are valid in Latin. Just a trivial rant or a pipe dream but it was kind of cool when all was Latin and universal.

Were it only so! It’s sad that even many priests and bishops are not conversant with Latin anymore. Here we have more than 2000 years of language and culture and few are doing anything to preserve it in a living form. My opinion is that all priests and bishops be required to know enough Latin to celebrate Mass in it, and that they do so at least once a month. It would also be nice if all official documents and meetings such as synods, etc, be in Latin (with simultaneous translation for those needing it). Lat’s not lose our precious Latin heritage!
