Latin X at CUW?

Latin X sounds like a great opportunity for advanced study of the language of the Caesars and the Church that you take right after passing Latin IX. It is apparently a “thing” (res?) at Concordia University Wisconsin.

On September 19, 2022, this blogpost was published by our synod university: “Seven Ways to Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.” At the end of the article, we read:

Of course, Wikipedia cannot be trusted as a source, as they are giving a phony definition of Latin X:

So, of course, this is not what Latin X means. There is no way one of our synodical institutions would be engaging in Orwellian linguistic cultural Marxist agitprop as a means of inculcating an antibiblical worldview regarding human sexuality. Why, that would be something that the suspended Dr. Gregory Schulz might say. So, obviously that can’t be true.

So Latin X must actually be advanced study in the Lingua Latina.

Optime! I’m all for that! Maybe next, CUW can also offer Greek X, Hebrew X, and German X!

Thanks CUW, and keep up the good work fostering a biblical Lutheran identity and rigorous classical studies. As the kids say, O Tempora, O mores!
