Salvete!
I was quite astounded when I heard earlier today that the current pope of the Catholic church, Benedict XVI, had announced his intention to resign by the end of February. I was even more surprised when I learned that he had done so in Latin. I am certainly not a big fan of his ideological positions, but I still find it quite endearing that someone still takes Latin seriously enough to use it for such a momentous occasion in his life.
Valete,
Carolus Raeticus
