No more than is required by a good college curriculum. Latin was a piece of cake, but one could obtain a doctorate in theology at the University of Dallas without one single Greek class.
In fact, Greek is not even in the curriculum.

Basic Greek is given in many schools. It is the language of the New Testament and some knowledge of the language is not a bad thing. Seminaries are much like colleges and it would make for a well rounded clergy. I don't think the Pope wants all clergy to be Greek langauge scholars.
