Most Catholics would be happy with some basic theology, Church History, and Scripture from their priests, acquired in English.

Latin and Greek are nice, but they are largely academic languages, for those pursuing doctorates or specialties in theology.

Start booting guys out of seminary because they can't master Latin or Greek, and you'll have even fewer seminarians.

No more than is required by a good college curriculum.

Well, since the church documents are written in Latin and a good chunck of the bible in Greek, I'd say they are essential. You can't always trust a translator as some concepts don't translate well. And it's not that hard. We should all have learned Latin alongside English, like the Jews do Hebrew. It's really wrong that people like me learned Latin to know what we are singing in concert form.
