 Ecclesiastical Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Latin
Until recently, Latin had retained its place in the Liturgy, as it was seen to point out and watch over, in the very bosom of the Church, that unity of belief in all places and throughout all times which is her birthright.
In the present instance these words are taken to mean the Latin we find in the official textbooks of the Church (the Bible and the Liturgy), as well as in the works of those Christian writers of the West who have undertaken to expound or defend Christian beliefs.
Church Latin alone lived, thanks to the religion of which it was the organ and with which its destinies were linked.

 Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin is also still used—drawing heavily on Greek roots—to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things.
However, there is a growing movement, sometimes known as the Living Latin movement, whose supporters believe that Latin can, or should, be taught in the same way that modern "living" languages are taught, that is, as a means of both spoken and written communication.
The Church used Latin as its primary liturgical language until the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.

 Latin: Why? And How to Pronounce It!
The use of the Latin language prevailing in a great part of the Church affords at once an imposing sign of unity and an effective safeguard against the corruption of true doctrine.
Latin is, contrary to popular belief, still the language of the Church, and the documents of Vatican II require it to be retained for the Mass (Gregorian Chant, too, is to be not only retained, but given "pride of place"!
Christianity is no different, and benefits from a sacred language's ability to unify all in the common liturgy as Christ desired that we be as one.

Ecclesiastical Latin is what the Church has always used.
Believe, me, and the pope is a great example, German priests who still use it at all know their Latin and pronounce it elegantly, as do the congregations when singing the ordinary, which in Germany is still, well, ordinarily in Latin.
Although, I do not know if the Church has officially spoken on this topic, I will say that it makes sense to use the Ecclesiastical Latin because it is most proper and most correct.

  Indian Christianity
The autonomy and the Indianness of the Latin Church in India were necessarily compromised first by the fact that the Padroado Christianity was built up with the protection of Portugal, the colonial power, and secondly by the fact that the Christians particularly in Portuguese enclaves, lived a privileged life.
Not only were Indians to be promoted to priesthood but ecclesiastical power and responsibility were to be vested in them.
But, apart from the appointment of a few Goan Brahmins as vicars apostolic in the 17th century, the first Indian to be made head of a Latin Rite diocese was Bishop Tiburtius Roche S. J., of Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu in 1923.

 Latin language, alphabet and pronunciation
During the 15th century, Latin began to lose its dominant position as the main language of scholarship and religion throughout Europe.
Modern Latin was used by the Roman Catholic Church until the mid 20th century and is still used to some extent, particularly in the Vatican City, where it is one of the official languages.
The earliest known inscriptions in Latin date from the 6th century BC and were written in various versions of the Greek alphabet, which was brought to to Italy by Greek colonists.

 The Pronunciation of CHURCH / Ecclesiastical Latin
Technically Latin has no letter J. It was introduced in the 13th century or thereabouts to differentiate between the vowel i and the consonant i.
The second, and the one we are concerned with here, is Ecclesiastical Pronunciation, which is the way Latin has been spoken from somewhere in the 3rd/4th centuries down to present day and is the way Latin is spoken in the Church.
In Latin, it is the ending of the word that indicates who did what to whom.

 The Pronunciation of Ecclesiastical Latin and Classical Latin
But Latin was retained as the universal language of the Church, and, over time, ecclesiastical Latin developed some pronunciation differences that distinguish it from Classical Latin.
Latin has two ways to pronounce vowels: long and short, referring to the “length” of time spent in voicing the vowel, which changes the sound.
