I think he was joking. Hehe.
The only place where Latin is official is the Vatican. Though it is said that Italian is used for most ocassions, they still use Latin for all the official things, and of course, mass in Latin.
Not many people who study Latin see the point in learning to speak it like you would any other language, which is unfortunate, at least for me.
If you’re wondering about the pronunciation of Latin, this has been discussed on this board before. The Vatican uses a pronunciation based on Italian; in other countries, it is usually pronounced with the phonetic inventory of that country’s language; and yet others, follow a Classical pronunciation, but even this one varies in different countries and/or schools.
Here’s a post in which Benissimus was compiling sites with spoken Latin:
