Two questions.
First, my sister, a few friends of mine, and my self would really like to learn latin, both Classical and Ecclesial. That being said, does anyone know a good way to go about doing this? I know that there are a couple of latin experts on this forum.
Second, do Western Rite Orthodox Churches use latin at all in their masses or prayers?

Topic locked pending moderatorial review of where to move it.

Veniamin · « **Reply #2 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:53:57 PM »

This seemed like the best place to move the topic. If the second question develops a discussion, let us know and we'll split and move that to the Liturgy forum.

I know a bit of Ecclesiastical Latin. What helped me was looking side by side at the Bible or the texts of the Mass in Latin and English, and seeing how different words were used in different contexts.

No idea on this one.

I often recommend textkit.com for Greek. It also has many (more) Latin study aids, and an active forum. Many costly textbooks are available as pdf downloads as well.

This one is good for the Classicalized Ecclesiastical Latin that the Vatican has been using from the Renaissance.

Thank you so much. These look like great resources. I'll add this to the list of books already suggested. Thank you so much to every one who has helped here in this thread or via PM.
Does anyone know if its a bad idea to use multiple resource books to learn Latin? Should I learn classical Latin first? Should I learn it along side ecclesial latin?

i.e. Gregory is one of several pre-schism popes who are still considered canonical saints in the Orthodox Church.

i.e. before the Schism, half the Orthodox world spoke Latin… thus it is not an inherently un-Orthodox language (surely no language is).

There are a few prayers (not many) said in latin during the Western rite liturgy. That I do remember

Completely agree with you. I wonder if anyone but me (who am Italian and studied a bit of Latin years ago) understands what you wrote. Anyway, it's useful to have a Latin teacher on this forum!

is it tuo or tuum? I know tuo is Italian for yours. Either way, I understood it

Anyway... is this where we say "oremus" ?

It's "et cum spiritu tuo". It's in the ablative case.

And yes, "tuo" is also Italian for "your" or better "thy/thine"

Too true, Quinault. And learning Latin is also a good way to develop abstract thinking. If your kids need a Latin tutor, give me a call.

Please tip your local Latin teachers!

Wow, that's great! do you also give lessons on Latin dance moves?

^Besides being a Latin teacher, I am also a musician. Musicians DO NOT, under any circumstance, dance. It is a betrayal of our most fundamental "credo". So, no, I do not dance and I do not teach dance, let alone Latin dance movies.

That's pretty cool, it'd be neat if they could record & publish a Liturgy in Latin, possibly in the Byzantine style. (or if we know the pre-Schism Latin style)

I like Romanides though his bias (which is actually, more or less, hatred) against Latin fathers is totally unfounded.

Good idea on the T-shirt. I think, though, I'll be the only one wearing it.
