Adrian Murdoch twittered this one last night:

Raw power is shifting, but to whom exactly? It is as if Merkel has somehow been crowned Magna Mater Europae by the Consilium, behind closed doors.

I suspect the Consilium didn’t know what is required to be an adherent of the Magna Mater … even the Romans knew to keep her ‘out’ of town …

From Zenit:

Benedict XVI is encouraging the study of Latin, noting that the ancient language has much to offer in the study of ancient and modern history.

The Pope said this today, in Latin, after praying the midday Angelus together with those gathered in St. Peter’s Square.

His words were directed to the students and teachers of the Christelijk Lyceum of Veenendaal, Netherlands. The Pontiff stated that he was pleased that the students had come “to Rome to be strengthened in your endeavor to learn the Latin language.”

“In fact,” he added, “this language has much to contribute, both in the deeper study of antiquity and in the study of more recent history.”
