I'll bet that most young priests and seminarians are incapable of praying even the Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Credo or Gloria in Latin.
Sad, but probably true. I learned the Pater Noster in high school, but forgot the second part of the prayer after a while. I taught myself the whole thing again, and also taught myself the Ave Maria and the Gloria.

I find that depressing. Some of my friends are in Lutheran Seminaries, and they are required to learn Greek, Hebrew, and often a little Latin. In fact, an old pastor of mine used to translate Gospels from the Greek to English as a hobby.
I guess that I always expected RCC priests to have similar requirements.
