As traditional Catholics, the Latin language is an integral part of our daily lives. Because it is a “dead” language, Latin is a natural vehicle for the teachings and worship of the unchanging Faith following the unchanging God. But is there even more to it than that? In Defense of Latin by R. W. Livingstone on Memoria Press makes an excellent case for personal mastery of this ancient language from an historic perspective. “It is not an overstatement to say that not to know Greek is to be ignorant of the most flexible and subtle instrument of expression, and not to know Latin is to have missed an admirable training in precise and logical thought.” Latin truly is the perfect language for the study of apologetics and the One True Faith!
