Code of Canon Law:

Can. 249 — The program for priestly formation is to make provision that the students are not only carefully taught their native language but also that they are well skilled in the Latin language …

Not that anyone has bothered to read this canon.

It should be pointed out that the need for Latin goes beyond the Mass but also involves the ability to study theology and have immediate access to Church documents in their original language.

Oh I agree. I was being sarcastic in my previous remark.
