In other days, business with the Holy See was conducted only in Latin or Italian. But now the Sacred Congregation receives letters in French, German, Dutch, etc. They wish hereafter that these documents be written in Latin or Italian. And since the use of Latin has declined, they urge the bishops to promote the study of that language as the bond of unity in the Church. Signed by Barnabo and Archbishop John Simeone as secretary. :: III-2-l Printed L.S. Latin 1p. 4to.
