Whilst I am not a Roman Catholic, one thing I very much like about the Catholic Church is their continued use of Latin. When the Cardinals succeeded in electing a new Pope on Thursday, the traditional Latin announcement was made to the Faithful from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica:
"Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum... habemus papam!"
In English translation it is: "I announce to you a great joy... we have a pope!" Containing just a verb in the first person plural present indicative active and a first declension noun in the accusative singular, the statement habemus papam is well within the understanding of a Latin beginner.
