"Emmanuel", indeed :). I never took Latin (and I was astonished when I learned that my youngest daughter was taking it in high school; I thought it had long disappeared entirely from the public schools, but apparently not), and my upbringing was Episcopal not Catholic, so I never experienced the liturgy in Latin. And I'm not sorry that so many old Christmas carols have been translated to English. But NO ONE sings "Adeste, fideles" any more! I do miss that.
