Wow! I'll have to look into the area that I am currently at for a few years (Charleston, South Carolina USA). Thanks.
Yes. My students still learn it. I studied it for 4 years. Like me, they translate Julius Caesar, Cicero, Livi or Salustius. Some also learn Greek. We are talking standard secondary education and on the national level.Has anyone under the age of 50 on either side of the Atlantic, save those that went to a good school, been taught a lick of Latin?
Only the well read, aspirational middle classes will know a few well known phrases, likely because they looked it up after seeing it in print, so they wouldn't seem ignorant. All others of this age range will know essentially none, I'd imagine.
In the USA? or elsewhere?
I will likely be in Austria, Germany, Italy & Croatia next year. Thee is empirical evidence from friends & relatives that this is happening there, too.Both. France is a particular hotbed.
I guess that you didn't notice that I am NOT Catholic, which was stated earlier. But the use of Latin and the fact that the Church is doing what the people seem to want instead of the church doing what it wants is, hopefully a step in the right direction for the church. As to the 70's, that seems to be when the church started eliminating the Latin mass (I was dating a Catholic women at the time (from 1972-1982). So it does pertain to the 70's changing of ideology.Not cool. Trad Catholicism is regressive in more ways than just liturgical.
It is perfectly possible to listen to mass with pre-Gregorian rites (that standarized by pope Gregorius VII) on a reduced, but active, number of churches around Europe. In the particular case next to where I live, it is not rare that the rites from the time of the Goths are sung on several sundays.I guess that you didn't notice that I am NOT Catholic, which was stated earlier.

I thought that was with cars... Wait! Cars do have reproduction devices!!!A thread about "70's ideology" and nobody has brought up the porn stache or the audio ads claiming that you will definitely get laid if you buy a certain turntable...
In the 70's MORE CRAZY SEX happened because of this one vehicle...I thought that was with cars... Wait! Cars do have reproduction devices!!!
I would think you'd be much more successful with one of these,In the 70's MORE CRAZY SEX happened because of this one vehicle...
I personally like that much better but much fewer people had those therefore fewer people had CRAZY SEX due to those. As to me, I was just as successful in my 1968 SS396 Chevelle, 1972 Mustang Grande (351 Cleveland), 1979 T/A (Doug Nash 5 speed, 473 HP, 4 wheel disc brakes) & my 1971 Super Beetle (with 105 HP).I would think you'd be much more successful with one of these,
HEY, I resemble that remark. LOLMost people I knew in the 70's have tried marriage unsuccessfully a # of times
I just never figured on getting married. I liked to travel and party too much. Then, suddenly, I was married. In Saipan, a place I had not even heard of 2 years before that.HEY, I resemble that remark. LOL
