Hello, Jacob.
Actually, the pope wished people Easter greetings in sixty languages almost two weeks ago. But he doesn't speak or understand the great majority of those languages. Please click on the link I left in my April 29 message and read the October 12 and 17 posts on that thread to help you understand.

He knows 8 of them, I just found that out today during his Mass in Spain on EWTN,,,,,He knows 8, but doesnt speak all of them fluently. He speaks enough of each language to get by though..The funny part is that he doesnt speak LATIN!!! Isnt that wierd??? Of all the languages to know, he doesnt even speak the church tongue!!! God Bless him!!!
