Arinze: "Take Latin out of the refrigerator."

(Note that, according to the diligent, detail-oriented reporter who wrote up this story: "Homilies, he said, should always be in the vernacular." I'm sure there was a lot of debate about that. After all, if medieval peasants and 1950s Irish mothers could understand homilies in Latin, why can't we? -- Of course, I can think of many homilies I've heard where congregational comprehension ought to have been minimized, but Latin is not the way to achieve that, given that, in the ideal world, we would all be fluent in it. -- Actually, in the true "ideal world," we will be, since it's what they speak in Heaven.)
