Latin Language
: A note has been added regarding the source. The versions now extant at both sites have diverged to the point that both are derivative of but not identical to the snapshot taken on Jan. 22, 2005. The version at OrthodoxWiki is significantly changed and thus not a violation of copyright law. In any event, the derivation was noted in the history, though it is now explicit in the article body. —[[User:ASDamick|{{User:ASDamick/sig}}]] 21:59, 19 Oct 2005 (EDT)
Don't You think it sounds ''way''-much better saying (something like): "Romanians are the '''only''' people upon the face of the earth that are of a ''Latin heritage/language'' (like Italians, Spanish, Portugese and French -- which are ''all'' Roman-Catholic), '''but''', unlike ''all'' other Latins, they have an ''Orthodox faith''" ? Someone might even dare say we're traditional ''Latin Orthodoxy''. :-) ... anyway, ... I just wanted to say that it doesn't seem to me that this particular idea is given the deserved importance, or maybe it's just not so clearly expounded or expresed -- that's all.

:The Spanish-speaking Orthodox and the Portuguese-speaking Orthodox in Central America and in South America are of Latin language heritage. The Patriarchate of Antioch and the Patriarchate of Constantinople have extensive Archdioceses, Metropolitanates and Dioceses in the countries of these regions. Other Orthodox Churches also have parishes in these regions. North America has considerable numbers of Spanish-speaking Orthodox parishes under various jurisdictions. There are also Latin derived language Orthodox throughout western Europe. Romanians are not "the only people on the face of the earth that are of Latin heritage/language" and who are Orthodox. But they certainly are a great people, and have a significant role to play in the worship of the One True God. chrisg 2006-07-06-1151 EAST
