\u2018Hebdomada Papae\u2019: News in Latin on Vatican Radio<\/h2>\n

Saturday, 8 June, sees the launch of \u201cHebdomada Papae, notitiae vaticanae latine redditae\u201d (The Pope’s week in review: Vatican news bulletin in Latin), on Vatican Radio.
\nBy Linda Bordoni<\/p>\n

Starting on Saturday, 8 June, a 5-minute weekly news bulletin in Latin will be broadcast to the world on Vatican Radio frequencies through the Italian language audio channels. Of course you will also be able to follow it on our web portal and listen to it on podcast, and it will soon be available on the English-language audio frequencies as well.<\/p>\n

The bulletin goes to air thanks to the collaboration of the Vatican\u2019s Latin Letters Office, a department of the Secretariat of State where Church documents are written in or translated into Latin. The bulletin will be edited by veteran Vatican Radio journalist Alessandro De Carolis.<\/p>\n

A challenge for the future<\/h3>\n

Vatican Radio\u2019s Editorial Director, Andrea Tornielli, describes \u2018Hebdomada Papae\u2019 as a real, informative news bulletin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not conceive it with a nostalgic look to the past, but as a challenge for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Noting that Latin is the official language of the Catholic Church, he said Latin already \u201cresonates daily on the frequencies of Vatican Radio, which every morning broadcasts Mass in Latin.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekly initiative, he explained, aims to breathe new life into the language.<\/p>\n

\u2018Anima Latina\u2019<\/h3>\n

Straight after the news bulletin, Vatican Radio Italy, whcih broadcasts news and other programmes on the frequencies dedicated to the Italian language, will also provide an in-depth programme entitled \u201cAnima Latina, radio colloquia de lingua ecclesiae.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnima Latina\u201d, dedicated to the rediscovery of the value and beauty of the Latin language, will feature Father Waldemar Turek, Director of the Latin Letters Office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
