I wouldn't take this as particularly authoritative. Garry Wills tells
an interesting story in his recent book, Papal Sin. At the Vatican II
conference in the 1960s, where the official language was Latin, New
York's Cardinal Spellman rose to deliver a long and an impassioned
defense of liturgical Latin. He might as well not have bothered. His
pronunciation was so awful that no one could understand him!
