CVTV-4 - Latin: Lingua Mortua, sed Lingua Ecclesiae, Part 1

Translation: "Latin: the Dead Language, but the Language of the Church".

On this first of a two-part series, we talk about Latin and its status as the official language of the Catholic Church. We also present a tutorial on how to pronounce the letters (A-J) in Ecclesiastical Latin (as opposed to Classical Latin).

My apologies for the audio being a little ahead of the video at the end. I'm still trying to figure out how to get that fixed.

Christus Vincit ANYWHERE! and Christus Vincit TV! can be found at http://www.christusvincit.com . From there, please feel free to make use of the "interactive corner" halfway down the main page. You can leave a line on our message board, digg, and even vote for us at Podcast Alley each month.

Peace,

Latin DID NOT GENERATE THE GERMANIC LANGUAGES. Learn history.

[MobiusDragon89]

That's a vague comment. People who claim at all costs that Germanic languages don't owe anything to Latin are wrong.

English and German are not as close to Latin as Italian or French (examples), but no one can deny the fact that Germanic languages were significantly influenced by Latin (especially English).

I am Italian, and sometimes English is closer to Latin than my home language. The pronunciation has changed, of course, but the way many words are written has remained pretty much the same.

I guess learning Latin generates an appetite

[LDD86]

i HATE latin spoken with an american accent. it sounds best with an italianate/iberian accent.

[SneverusSnapers]

Latine loqui coactus sum. Those who understand that will know what i mean.

[SneverusSnapers]

Yeah, i mean, i learn german and latin and there are some connections.

[MaBu888]

Lots of lonarwords from Latin in English indeed. They never were pronounced quite like Latin in their anglophonic content starting with 1066, I think, however.

[MobiusDragon89]

I love that kind of replies... good one, indeed!

[eukako83]

In the laboratory( of the Medieval Latin laboratorium ) exist the latin or latin vocabulary : In vitro, in anima vili,sensu.

In the church: dogma, Kýrie(is greek, ok), Agnus Dei. In philosophy(Greek: philosophia, love of knowledge, wisdom," from philo- "loving" + sophia "knowledge, wisdom," from sophis "wise, learned." )praxis,doxa,episteme, a priori,a posteriori etc (of the Latin et ceteri:and the others)

with the extension of the english,the classical vocabulary be come universal.
