Wow! I'll have to look into the area that I am currently at for a few years (Charleston, South Carolina USA). Thanks.

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.
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.

Turns out that it actually improves your written and spoken Iberian languages.

Both. France is a particular hotbed.
I will likely be in Austria, Germany, Italy & Croatia next year. Thee is empirical evidence from friends & relatives that this is happening there, too.
Latin in the great & small Catholic churches of Europe. Cool!

Not cool. Trad Catholicism is regressive in more ways than just liturgical.

As a kid I used to hear this in church every Sunday and still don't understand it?

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.

Actually, the trad movement is about a rather radically conservative subset of Catholic people rejecting what most Catholic people want (most, as in, the people Vatican II reforms addressed originally -- people whose desires included Mass in non-dead languages. That happened in the early-mid 1960s, not the 70s). It's decades since I was a practicing Catholic but I know a reactionary, 'fundamentalist' schism when I see one brewing.

If the Church today really wanted to address what majorities of Catholics want , allowing women and married men to be priests would be a good start.

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 it can be possible to find similar cases in France with Frankish rites or Northern Italy with Lombardian rites. It is up to a place to request it to Rome and, being a folkloric and heritage thing, it is typically granted.

It´s something peculiar and worth to be attended if you´re interested on the lithurgical aspect and enjoy "archeology".

In the 70's MORE CRAZY SEX happened because of this one vehicle...
I would think you'd be much more successful with one of these, ;)

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).
But during those 70's & 80's I owned a sound production company, was a radio DJ, a Live band Rock club DJ & MC and I remained single until I was 48 (2005).
I'll say that choices in profession and the hours I kept gave me opportunities for CRAZY that others did not have due to their day work hours & my bedtime usually came after the sun was up. From the 70's-2005 the single life (in the USA, Austria, Germany, Italy & more was very good to me.
And I never expected my marriage to last more than 5-7 years but it's been 17 years & counting. Most people I knew in the 70's have tried marriage unsuccessfully a # of times. Some have finally got the right sauce.

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.
