“We address especially the young people: You must joyfully accept the
patrimony of the language which the Church holds in high esteem and
must, with energy, make it fruitful. The well-known words of Cicero, It is not so much excellent to know Latin, as it is a shame not to know it in
a certain sense are directed to you. We exhort you all to lift up high
the torch of Latin which is even today a bond of unity among peoples of
all nations.”
-Saint John Paul II
