Pope "strongly encourages" use of "immortal language"

The final paragraph of the report by the Zenit news service offers a quote by the Holy Father on the language of the Church (see highlighted section below):

"The pilgrims gathered for the audience were from widely scattered, meaning that the Pope greeted the crowds in many languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Italian. There was also a group of international students gathered for a summer Latin program present, so the Holy Father greeted them in the official language of the Church: "We strongly encourage you all that by diligently studying and effectively teaching you may pass on like a torch the understanding, love, and use of this same immortal language in your own countries."
