Latin is the official language of [[Vatican City]] and The Roman Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. It had been the primary [[liturgical]] language until just after the [[Second Vatican Council]] in the 1960s, when the various vernacular languages of its members were allowed in the liturgy. Classical Latin, the literary language of the [[late Republic]] and [[early Empire]], is still taught in many primary, grammar, and secondary schools throughout the world, often combined with [[Greek]] in the study of [[Classics]]; but its role has diminished since the early 20th century.

In language, an alphabet represents the mechanism of materialism, while the words expressive of the meaning of a thousand thoughts, grand ideas, and noble ideals--of love and hate, of cowardice and courage--represent the performances of mind within the scope defined by both material and spiritual law, directed by the assertion of the will of personality, and limited by the inherent situational endowment.[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper195.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper195.html&line=198#mfs]
