"Fr Z is a true phenomenon of the information age: a power blogger and a priest."

“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."

I did a master’s in classics at UK (Kentucky), where they were advocates of living Latin and pushed a spoken Latin curriculum. Unfortunately, the post is a about decade too late for me. Twelve years later, I am a water/wastewater engineer and would need the students to give me a refresher on noun declensions. (And to be honest, I avoided the spoken Latin portion of the offering there anyway.)
I have been reconsidering, and I would take that job in Indiana with these stipulations:
My five children and ten grandchildren could move with me, never mind the fact that I have a daughter in a Benedictine Abbey in my current state. (The monastery would have to move, too.)
There would be a Ukrainian Catholic parish a half mile away.
The school would not have too many right-wingers.
I would be able to proclaim that Francis is an antipope.
The school packs up my house and moves our 46 years of accumulated stuff.
The Indiana school is near Ft. Wayne, a very conservative area, but with enough Missouri Synod Lutherans to keep the Catholics from getting too smug.
When I studied Latin we had not much of this “Living Latin”, so I am not able to have a normal conversation in Latin more than few basic things.
Recently I have discovered a Podcast called “Satura Lanx: a podcast to learn Latin, in Latin”. The host is speaks all the time in Latin. It has upper beginner / intermediate content, I am able to follow it almost completely, and makes me wonder why we never learned to speak in Latin, because listening to her makes it looks so easy!
I think she has another podcast for beginners.
