What about the Latin?
Yeah! Don't forget: "It's better in Latin!"
Hey - in some dioceses, Latin just ain't allowed! Or, at the very least, you have to make your request in triplicate, and have each form signed off on by the local Justice of the Peace on the 5th Tuesday of a given month...

Actually Homo means 'Human' or 'mortal' (viri means 'man'). And this is the only time in the year that Christians are addresses as MAN (not, say, dearly beloved or brethern).
Haha! I love the eco-guy...
