Secret??? OMG....All good Catholic parents sent their kids to Catholic schools, so Latin was taught by nuns and Priests.....geesh....

I went to a Latin Mass at St. Barnabas in O’Fallon; Latin words with Oregon music. ECCCHH.

You know something sad? My daughter had a Muslim friend who attended a Muslim school, and he learned Church Latin in that school..

Not sure why it was taught, but it was. I think they also learned Hebrew there.

And yes, they studied the Koran as the students were all Muslims.

I learned the responses to the Latin Mass pre-Vatican II and do not remember any altar boys deliberately mispronouncing any of the Latin words (accidentally getting the wrong endings on some of the words, perhaps). The Latin Mass is beautiful.

But perhaps the "Suscipiat" could have done with fewer sibilants.
