A Message from Fr. Foster

Many of you may know that Fr. Reginald Foster–the Vatican’s Latinist–has been recuperating in his hometown of Milwaukee after suffering a fall last summer. He has recently posted a message on YouTube–Latin with a few English translations–giving news of his condition.

I’ve read more than one criticism of Fr. Foster’s gravelled, Italian-by-way-of-Chicago pronunciation, but IMO that misses the point entirely. His “Latin Lover” podcast/program on Vatican radio displays an enthusiasm other Latinists should encourage rather than nitpick.

Qui sciet quae quoque sint modo dicenda, nisi tamen in procinctu paratamque ad omnis casus habuerit eloquentiam, velut clausis thesauris incubabit.
