| @AtoneMENT: Regardless of where you live, the language of the Vatican City is still Latin. During Vatican II, the tridentine mass was scrapped in favor of the vernacular, but the vernacular of the Vatican City is still Latin. Also, with a global community of the Church centered in the Vatican City, Latin would be one of the easiest languages that these individuals would be able to communicate. Bishops and priests from the U.S., Italy, Senegal, Samoa, and all other places would be effectively fluent in Latin. |
