Catholic Writing: The Verb is the Last Word!

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Putting your thesis at the start of a video is much better than some in Catholic YouTube or just like rambling rambling rambling random just point in the middle. Do you ever did you did you did you study Latin? I forgot.

[00:00:11]>> Classical Latin. I knew I knew how to pronounce it, but like a good Catholic.

[00:00:14]>> Well, technically ecclesiastical Latin and and classical Latin are different pronunciations, but >> you're doing an Italian accent and that's what all the trads online do.

[00:00:21]They're just like, "No, you have to say it like this." And they just do an Italian accent to ecclesial Latin.

[00:00:25]You're like, "That's that is unfortunately not how Latin sounded at all, let alone enough to sort of critique each other's pronunciation of Latin words that isn't even correct to begin with."

[00:00:36]>> I bring up Latin because in classical Latin, the better Latin you have, the the longer you went without saying the verb. So, you would just preface all these sorts of dependent clauses and nouns and all this stuff and you wouldn't know what they were trying to say until the last word of the sentence because that would be the verb.

[00:00:50]And so, that's what it made me [laughter] think of. That is It is in a way very very very trad to want to do that. Well, Catholic is all the Catholic writing and it is still my I think my biggest challenge in communicating effectively to the outside world is too many dependent clauses and just the sentences just keep on going and going and going and going. When most people in English class learn to sort of you got shorter sentences, communicate clearly.

[00:01:14]In church writings, it just seems like you just keep adding things on and never really full comma or the periods are just like a really awkward comma rather than like the end of a thought.

[00:01:26]>> All that to say, good job Ryan Aholt for giving you with your thesis right away.

[00:01:29]Let's go.
