Crack for Latin nerds like me.

So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

I wish I had gotten more out of my (on paper) 4 years of Latin. We had the same teacher all 4 years—great, bc he was brilliant and a huge character, not so great, bc he was not didactic enough. We started off strong the first year and then more or less tread the next 3. Major missed opportunity.

I’m just pleased I could figure out his name from the Latin announcement. Low hurdle, I know!

So, not the tú form?

Church Latin is so easy compared to Classical stuff. But they’re also the only people who try to learn Latin not just by reading and writing but speaking, which sounds hard but fun!

I devoured that thread. “No Very Good Days Are Ahead” is still hardwired into my brain.
