While Catholic doctrines have evolved slowly, the Latin vocabulary has been expanding steadily in recent years, reflecting the surge of neologisms (new words, usages, and expressions) that has accompanied technology’s increasingly prominent role in people’s daily lives. The addition of terms like telephonium albo televisifico coniunctum (video telepresence) and usus agonisticus medicamenti stupecfactivi (performance-enhancing drugs) has helped to spark a revival of Latin education in the West, despite growing competition from Mandarin.
虽然天主教教义逐步演化，但拉丁文词汇量近年来稳步扩大，反映出与技术在日常生活中日益突出的作用相适应的新词（新词、新用法和新表达方式）的激增。面对来自普通话的竞争压力， 新出现的telephonium albo televisifico coniunctum（视频远程监控）和usus agonisticus medicamenti stupecfactivi（体能促进药物）等词汇再次推动了拉丁文教育在西方的复兴。
