Coleus, I'm glad you used the Vivat Jesus salutation.

When I first joined Spring of 2003 I asked, why Vivat Jesus and not Vivat Jesu -- why mix Latin and English?

No one knew.

I asked a Priest friend who Celebrates the Tridentine at the Indult in Baton Rouge and is the KofC Chaplin for the diocese. He said that, technically, Vivat Jesus is a mistake and that Vivat Jesu is correct.

I don't know Latin, hek my engris ain't 2 good, but this seems like an obvious mistake. Any Freepers fluent in Latin are invited to lend a hand. What do y'all think?
