A small vignette when attending to a priest as a patient the discussion of hemoglobinopathies came up(sickle cell and thalassemias) these being adaptive in malarial invested areas. The ancient Romans drained the swamps removing the "bad air", In pointing this out I asked if this 37 yo priest ever took Latin. He said no. As someone raised with the OF or Novus Ordo I still am flabbergasted. What were they thinking? How stupid can you be to strike this from the curriculum? This would seem to be a basic requirement for any Latin rite priest. We need another Charles Borromeo.

Very Teilhard de Chardin! (Does anyone read him anymore?) It is really ridiculous that many churchman and laity thought that the sixties were so special that we would want to see them for hundreds upon hundreds of years after they had passed. I suppose other ages had historical narcissism. Some in the Vatican II generation thought that theirs was more important than everyone else's.
