YOUR CATHOLIC LANGUAGE by Mary Perkins

YOUR CATHOLIC LANGUAGE

By

Publisher: Sheed and Ward

Here's a way to kill two birds with one stone. Learn Latin with the missal as your text. An idea for use in parochial schools, convent schools, etc. Call to attention of Latin teachers in church schools, and suggest that they try it out in their classes. The language is the official tongue of the Roman Catholic Church, and Miss Perkins argues that the mass would mean more if the participants understood the words they were using and hearing. It seems very logical, and should be of special interest to members of the Catholic Evidence League, which includes many adult converts who are unfamiliar with the Latin tongue and would find ordinary text books inadequate and boring.
