<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4405513, member: 72790&quot;]I spent seven years in a Roman Catholic seminary, actually a monastery, of a religious order. This was before the Vatican II council that saw the liturgy changed from Latin into the local vernacular. If we followed the daily rule properly we actually spoke more Latin in the course of the day than whatever our vernacular language was. The philosophy classes at the adjacent university were conducted in Latin and the philosophy textbooks were also in Latin. The object of that was actually to make us conversant, if not quite fluent, in Latin as a spoken language. The video you shared reminded me of those days. His pronunciation was impeccable in the Classical version of the language, a bit different from the ecclesiastical version we used in classes and in the liturgy, but not that much. Thanks for the memory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
