Agreed, and with Latin, it's entirely defensible, because there is no country or province other than the vatican where you can even select it as a language on the ATM machine. Latin's positioning as a purely academic pursuit, both as a cultural treasure trove and an excellent gateway to linguistics is the only thing that even makes sense. Modern day spoken Latin revival is cute, and I certainly support it insofar as it can aid reading fluency, but it's about as useless and artificial as Esperanto.
