In this special in-depth report, Mike Lowe profiles a true Milwaukee treasure: Fr. Reginald Foster. Foster is a Catholic priest who served as the pope's Latinist for 40 years. This is the story of how a plumber's son rose to the highest levels of the Vatican -- and how his passion for the Latin language led him to develop an unorthodox, but highly effective teaching style.

Loved his smile on the face. Rest in Peace Fr Foster.
I am European and a hardcore atheist, but would do absolutely anything for the chance to study Latin with Father Reggie in Milwaukee. What an affectionate man, what a fantastic teacher with world class language skills!
Eternal rest granted to him O Lord.
NO , He won´t-
@@ixtoc999 :( he is. may he find rest with the other greats of latin literature
As an atheist myself, this is my favorite person of faith. These types of people make the world go around.
Ironic...cause the Mann is atheist himself...check him out on bill Maher documentary speaking at the Vatican..
@@jamesnorseman4863 he’s not an atheist you idiot😂😂😂. He just is anti establishment he loves god.
@@maxmurray8950 Like Jesus
I wish i could be as happy and content as this man is, its people like this that should rule the world, hes definitely a better man than me.
If only I could learn Latin from The Rev. Fr. Foster!!! :(
+sydneylam19 He has a new book coming out this fall - a Latin textbook. He is truly remarkable.
I wish I lived near Milwaukee, I would definitely try to take this class.
It's Father Maverick!
Foster is a very vibrant character.
I read about him in the book "The Vatican Diaries" by John Thavis.
very interesting character. He loved to violate the Vatican laws (hold illegal Vatican tour, make free of charge of his lectures) and he loved to mock important people (including the Pope himself), john Thavis says in his book that he is all about scapegoat that Vatican has. He is the oldest in his office and he was passed many promotions that he should get it.
But he is him, nobody else. He lives happily. that the most important thing.
i learned latin for 6 years .... of course i don't speak it but it gives you a very good insight into the roots of western civilization and is a good starting point of learning romance languages as italian, french and spanish. furthermore it lets you understand better the grammar of your own native language, german in my case. learn latin!
My grandparents spoke very fluent latin, much like this guy. And would speak it around me when they didnt want me knowing what they would talk about. That didnt last too long as i picked up on stuff, but I dont know enough to actually converse. Hell i dont even know a proper sentence.
And thats how a language dies
Requiesce in pace, O magister mi!
Spero Reginaldum etiam hodie valere!
Lucius adest! Non mirum. Alius magnus magister est! :)
Is this the Maverick priest from Religulous? I wonder what happened to him, he was walking fine back then...
@@mudvayne20056969 holy shit :D Because he said the truth publicly, when it was inappropriate for church. After all of this, only because of one interview? I guess they found replacement. This man needs respect.
Jackal cz He's a legend and still is teaching today.
Where is he teaching? I’m in Milwaukee and will love to learn
@@mudvayne20056969 They did not kick him out, He returned home after getting sick. You are full of shit
@@mudvayne20056969 I think he left due to medical reasons.
What great story telling, well done sir. Thank you.
Thanks to you and Reed Nolan for this great report, we are lamenting Reggie's death on 25 December! #Requiescat
RIP, Reggie!
Really great segment. RIP, Reggie.
man full of power and is the best teacher
Classical Latin is the accent that was spoken by the actual romans. It was reconstructed by linguists and is the closest approximation to what latin may of sounded like when it was a living language. The pronunciation that Father Reginald speaks is ecclesiastical Latin (i.e. latin pronounced as if it were Itallian).
I wanted to comment on how the shot of dust particles floating in the afternoon sun beams makes for a beautiful, if unwitting, visual allusion to Lucretius. However, I was unable to do so for several minutes, while I bartered with TH-cam over whether or not my identity credentials were satisfactory and whether or not this post should be shared on google plus, and what errors had occurred, and how I needed to reload the page. So much for facile literary references in this century.
may God bless him...I wish I could meet him one day
I know this man. Incredibly intelligent
damn he aged a lot in those 4 years since he was in Religulous. He was walking around laughing in that...
That can happen when you get past 70, all bets are off.
"Dīmidium hārum rērum, cōgitō esse opus hūmānum, atque nūgās hūmānās, et id est!" - Reginald Foster
ab Milwaukee cum amare
I want to learn Latin from this man.
It is just lovely! I am a latino, whose mother tongue is (obviously) vulgar latin, reading comments in modern anglo-norman, while noting how interesting is it that the language of the Saxons has being influenced by latin, to such a degree, that the only thing that's left of its germanic origin, are just its common words.
Bene dixit! English is about 2/3 Latin, either directly or indirectly via French. From English and the other Romance descendants, it has spread around the world. Linguam Latinam ubique est!
@StMartinTours this guy couldn't be more sane. he's probably one of the few people that has the guts to call people on their shit. catholic should be proud of him because the only way to improve a system is through criticism, and thats what he's doing! he should be listened to because what he has to say about catholicism makes a lot of sense.
God bless that renegade priest!
Miss you Reggie. -heart, julia
May he rest in peace..
The awesomely wacky bloke from Religulous! He's actually a priest!! I couldn't tell if that scene was serious!
Good guy.
Found it: Foster continues to suffer serious health complications resulting from a fall in June 2008, and was admitted on January 17, 2009, into the Fatebenefratelli Hospital on the Tiber Island.[6] After a grueling several months spent mostly in intensive care, Foster narrowly avoided death. He finally recovered enough to be taken to the United States where has lived to recuperate and receive physical therapy at Clement Manor.[7][8] Due to his injuries, Foster canceled his Summer Latin program for 2009, but now intends to resume classes in the USA in 2010.
+Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg He is still teaching private classes in Milwaukee.
That is great! I wish him all the best!
those anchors really bring the house down
There's also the world news podcast in Latin, Nuntii Latinii
alumni ti salutem!!!!
Meet only on FOX? He was in Bill Mahar's "Religlious' years ago.
This guy is amazing. If only he spoke classical latin. I would converse with him everyday.
I know it's a half decade too late - but... really? I mean, I speak English and Spanish, and I speak with people who speak all kinds of accents and dialects, all over the world. I don't say "Gee, they don't speak exactly the way I do, so I won't talk to them." So, sure, we learn classical pronunciation in school, and the church has it's italian pronunciation, but you can still communicate.... and the reality is, latin was spoken so widely and for so long that all kinds of pronunciations were around, just like english. or spanish.
Only 2 students? what a waste, he deserved a class full of young (and not so young) students
In Milwaukee he was lucky to get even two
Come to Canada Father Foster wooo!
What a legend. I never thought i'd give thumb s up to a Fox news vid... but here we go
He is Great. I am German ,we do not speak a Roman. German is completely "un" roman. Because at the outside the "Limes" it was over for Rome.But i really love it.
Latin might be slowly dying but to be honest here in Europe, especially Italy France Spain and Germany, Latin AND greek are still taught in what we call "classic lyceum" (5 classes that lead up to university particularly medecin and pharmacy) .
Further more, in my time there were comics written in Latin (Bologna-Italy), Vatican radio broadcast and Polish Radio as well as at least one newspaper in Poland written in Latin, dealing not with religious subjects . I believe that today they are on the web for budget reasons . I left school at 13 and had the opportunity to study latin just for one year, but I have not forgotten one word of the "De Bello Gallico" by Cesar : Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres quorum unam incolunt Belgae .............. !
Fantastic modern language that can traslate any object,thought, machinery , invention with its multifaceted vocabulary !
Notice that flora and fauna are all named in Latin and any doctor has to know latin and greek because the whole scientific jargon is written in one of the two "dead" languages ! Honors are tributed in latin,universities blasons and military ones are in latin !
"Si Parva Licet" "Semper fidelis" "Per Aspera ad Astra" etc
The English language owes a lot to latin, being constructed by the majority of words of two or more sillables (usually from the genitif of the third declination" - Did I say "declination", but that is latin : declinatio, declinationis !
Monosillabic words are typically Saxon, Anglian (german tribe), or Flemish or Hugro/Finnish !
I forgot lawyers that learn "Jus Romanus" in their first year !
***** Do dutch students study the "De Bello Gallico" Caesar's account of the conquest
of Gallia ? Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres
quorum unam incolunt Belgae ......
I forgot the rest , helas !
***** Thanks for the info and congratulati
ons on the dutch school system .
The results are there for all to see : one of the smallest countries in Europe with just about the highest results in any field of activity : Academic,
scientfic, commerce and standard of living !
Ad majoram Holland !
***** I'll give you an example of a man with a litterary background (a degree in history and an other philosophy) that taught latin and greek
in Florence and Milan to become eventually the
most successfull governor of the Bank of Italy in the worst moments of our economic history .
Eventually he was the President of Italy for 7yrs .
His name : Carlo Azeglio Ciampi .
A delightfull figure that has done a lot to honour my country ridden by a bunch of corrupt profiteers that did a lot of damage to our reputation . Still, nobody is perfect !
Still a classic education has given the best statesmen to England and most European countries as well as great managers .
The Reason ? Reading the Greek and Latin classics helps to discipline our minds and sustain our capabilities to debate and favor our creative thinking since both those far away civilisation have envisaged every aspect of our
actual lives, valid to this day .and further on !
Does he use ecclesiastical or classical latin?
How is there only two students in his class?
salué!!!!
Why did he say "živeli"? That's serbian for "cheers".=D (Probably also in a few other languages)
I bet he's a big fan of Lucian of Samosata.
Damn you for making me like fox for a while, Salve Reginald! Still more reports like this and I'd have an inkling of respect for fox. Still always nice to see father Reggie!
8:03 should be Gratis
Liam McCullough But not really.
or for the public's good.
I don't speak Latin but I speak Spanish. I can perceive an "Latin accent" It's odd and it's the first time I'm aware of that. but since I speak Spanish and Latin is a phonetic language I can peceive the English language accent in his Latin.
He will be missed
My GREAT LATIN teacher!!!
He just died today dec.25.2020
He just died today dec.25.2020
@@diana-ey3ne I’ve just learned that Reggie has died!!! A truly great loss!
ARGH! It's like learning from the best! WHERE IS HE SO I CAN LEARN FROM HIM??? PRO ECCLESIA! PRO ECCLESIA!
HOW DO I FIND THIS MAN
+ThisIsMyRectangle He is living in the United States and has a book coming out this fall - a Latin textbook.
Latin Kings are a Puerto Rican street gangs here in Chicago
lol!
+Eric Cartman Fuck yeah, they just lost the title to an old man
Latin is the most beautiful language
I know this is beside the point, but what is up with this frantic editing? Everything keeps moving constantly, so many hard cuts and short sequences in general. This is a short coverage not an action movie, I feel like getting a stroke while watching.
Le evidenze scientifiche rendono preferibile la pronuncia "ecclesiastica o italiana".
Everybody listen up, we need a doctor, an electrician, and a guy who speaks Latin. 😂
If God exists, there is his main man.
Is he still living? Does anyone kno
Yes he's still alive
He actually has another video from this year
Yes. He is still living and teaching in Milwaukee
Hahaha jesus at 1:40 ...man thats a pretty "film school" transition for a local news team. Which intern did that? He's gunna on to PA on some awful movies.
Meet a true apostate. He was so close and blew it, mocking all the sacred.
vale omenes Latin amat et Carpe deim et Carpe noctem et bonus salute.
So many mistakes, man...!
A character you'll meet only on Fox6? Try doing some research...and try watching Religulous, ya dummy.
Latin isn't dead, it just evolved into French, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, Portugese and Catalan
"dēbemus tē" ;) Tamen conveniō.
He is a unbeliever as far as I know it's not the Latin of the mass
@Nemesis000000 old ercause cause been +4 years, and if your in wheelchair and not walking around the weight gets added on, he may be "older" and "fatter" but his mind is still sharp!!
3:27 should be PRO BONO PUBLICO.
I'm religious yet I'm neither.
S.P.Q.R egupae, sek sek!!!!
Anthony Hopkins.
The human!
“Sanskrit, you’re majoring in a 5,000 year old dead language?!”
“Yeah”
(Hands him a paper)
“Latin, that’s the best I can do.”
Fox sux, but Father Reggie owns!
Only on fox news? Try Bill Maher's "Religulous"
laetitio!!!!!!!!
vitae summa brevis spem nos vitat incohare longam
why do these people pronounce their C's soft.
I love my Latinas
Now if only we could get rid of the misnomer of calling Caribbean, Central and South Americans Latins!
00:08 bro you forgot your jaw
"if you do reply will be because of the bigotry and hate towards the Catholic Religion and Religion in general."
One hell of a premature assumption you made there, buddy. There's a reason why many believe the religious aren't open to discuss and reason and you are the epitome of that.
Please, don't bother replying to this comment, I know it sounds harsh but I am just stating the truth, if you do reply will be because of the bigotry and hate towards critical thinking and open-mindedness.
Praecepta Latin!!!!
2:04
"At the Vatican, where Latin remains the official language . . ."
*Video laughs in Euripides*
Human nonsense! YES!
Wow he looks a lot older and fatter than when he was in Religulous
there is a latin lesson for you
Salve! Mihi nomen est Gaius McCullough, ego latine unus discipolus. latine est rex. Ego amat latine. Pater Foster est principes, et rex quo vox latine. Meu magister est Henry. Pater Foster est bonus latine. Pater Foster spero quod tu scribit mihi, ad 30 Fairfeild Rd. Havertown Pa., 19083. Ego conspicitus pro audit ex tu, vale.
So many mistakes... Did you put this through google translate?
Ego amat
Frickin' google translate! This passage is riddled with mistakes!
With words like "bedonkadonk", "crunk", and 'twirk" showing up in the American-English dictionary, Latin will be completely dead in no time.
rational thinking priest. somewhat rare
and he's the oddball...lol
well, cult members doesnt know they're crazy
lol google translate fail
"Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. The demons allied to Antichrist will operate on Earth and in the sky and Humanity will become worse. But God will not give up his truly faithful servants who are men of good will. The Gospel will be preached everywhere to all the people and the nations will know the truth"
