 | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | All to the west of this was the Latin Church. | | | It is in this sense that we speak of the Latin Church. | | | Against this we must always remember, and when necessary point out, that the constitution of the Catholic Church is still essentially what it was at the time of the Second Council of Nicaea (787; see also canon 21 of Constantinople IV in 869 in the "Corp.

| | Why Study Latin? |
| | As the centuries passed, Latin continued to be the international language of all educated men and women, living a parallel existence with the different national languages, such as Spanish or French, which were growing beside it. | | | We travel with them to Rome along the Appian Way, then follow the members of the family as they visit the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, give a party, attend school, witness a disastrous fire in an apartment house, get married, and finally attend a funeral. | | | The sole language of the Catholic Church was Latin; all scholarly, historical, or scientific work was written in Latin. |

| | The lack of a suffix denotes that the boy (puer) is the subject; the -i ending indicates that the dog (cani) is the indirect object; whilst the -am ending indicates that the food (escam) is the direct object. | | | This is particularly felicitous: not only is loco the Latin term from which the word ``local'' derives, it also means ``in place of'' (as in: in loco parentis). | | | Proper Latinate comparisons would be odious in Perligata, because they require their first argument to be expressed in the nominative and would themselves have to be indicative. |

| | Why Speak Latin? |
| | While some would argue that Latin, unlike French, Spanish or German, is a 'dead' language, and that there is therefore no point in learning to speak it, NAILLS believes that the concept of 'living' and 'dead' languages is founded on a misconception of what languages are. | | | Hence, the question whether Latin is dead or living is simply a question of how people treat it. | | | To turn the situation around, Latin students will need to obtain the same level of proficiency in their language as modern language students do in theirs. |
