“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

My Latin is rudimentary at best, and I’d need a few months! to get to the end; I now that the “Laudato Si” craze is over, I’m sure this won’t get too much attention.
Is there any chance of someone reading through the Latin and annotating any notable distinctions between it and vernacular counterparts? I’d love such an analysis!
That’s cold, Father.
I’m pretty sure that whoever had to translate this whole thing received a plenary indulgence-worth of grace from the Lord for all that toil.
Ah, the controversial paragraph about air conditioning! As expected, the English term for it is quite elegant. Absent sent Fr. Reginald Foster, who’s doing the Latin translations these days?
Thank you for the news and sample!
As a fair Latin-style ignoramus, I wonder if Roger or Francis Bacon would more at home with it (or the sample’s content. come to that)?
Some lovely words I don’t recall encountering…’nex’, ‘extrarius’… (If Andy Weir’s novel got translated into Latin like the Pooh and Potter books, might it be entitled, “Extrarius”?)
Does Fr Z consider to be good Latin?
In Latin or in English, Chapter 5, paragraph 175 still raises my hackles when it mentions ” organized international institutions empowered to impose sanctions”.
Deo Gratias! I had feared, particularly since I have yet to see a Latin version of Evangelii Gaudium on the Vatican website or even in AAS, that the current Pope had dispensed with Latin for official documents.
