VATICAN CITY — “Pro Dei amore Latinam linguam discite”.
If you don’t know what that means, Pope Benedict is on your case.
In fact, he’s not only on your case, he’s on your declension, your conjugation, your tense, your person, your voice and your mood.
“Pro Dei amore Latinam linguam discite” means “For the love of God, study Latin!” And that is what the pope wants to see more of.
Last weekend, he started a new Vatican department to promote the study and use of Latin in the Roman Catholic Church and beyond.
