Thank you. I live in 2004 not back in the past. Yes, I took some Latin in high school and did fairly well, but why use it now?

We always harp about the Hispanics speaking English when they come to the U. S., so I guess I use the same logic here. why use Latin? (Yes, I know it WAS a tradition.) Any other reasons?

Latin is the still the offical language of the Catholic church. That's one of the best reasons that I can think of.
