Maybe if they are forced to start teaching latin in the parochial schools again, it will help. Since it is the official language of the Church, it should be taught.

Latin, my friend, is only the official language of the Latin Church.

We Eastern Catholics have never used Latin and never will. Why not make Catholic children learn Byzantine Greek, Church Slavonic, Syriac, Ge'ez,etc.? (tongue-in-cheek)
