It is stipulated that departments of ecclesiastical and administrative affairs must write their acts in Latin or another language, a formulation that leaves Latin unprotected against any modern language. At the same time, the requirement of "good knowledge of Latin" for Vatican employees is eliminated, and an administrative model is adopted that prioritizes Italian and other contemporary languages. However, the traditional Office of Latin Letters within the Secretariat of State is maintained, tasked with drafting and translating all kinds of documents into Latin, including the Pope's tweets.</p>]]></description>
