My dear friend, The Redoubtable Marcus Magnus, turns up the darndest things. He is a fount of all kinds of stuff I would never even think to look for on my own. Such as the following line that ought to be silkscreened on T-shirts and distributed to bishops, priests and seminarians all over the country:
QUIDQUID LATINE DICTUM SIT ALTUM SONATUR
Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.
Another reason why -- although I am a chauvinist for English in most matters -- some things really are better in Latin.
