Adam,
If you tried to have a conversation with a cardinal these days you would have him scratching his head, despite the comments of your father. Hardly any cardinal can speak it fluently now, yet during the Second Vatican Council, the reverend fathers did all their debating in that most elegant of tongues. What we have lost! Some might say we have lost nothing, but I don't intend to get into a debate over the importance of Latin. I have already started a hare on what the parents might or might not have allowed and that, I feel, is enough.
