The Pontifical Academy for Latin (Latin: Pontificia Academia Latinitatis) is an organization established in 2012 to promote appreciation for the Latin language and culture. The Academy replaced the Latinitas Foundation, which Pope Paul VI erected in 1976, and is linked to the Dicastery for Culture and Education on which it depends. Its headquarters is located in Vatican City. The Pontifical Academy for Latin was founded on 10 November 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI with the motu proprio Latina Lingua, which set forth as its mission the preservation and promotion of the different versions of modern and ancient Latin, including and emphasizing, but by no means limited to, ecclesiastical Latin (Church Latin) as used in the liturgies and Masses of the 2002 Roman Missal (with the Mass of Popes Paul VI and John Paul II, which is usually said in the vernacular or local people's language) and of the 1962 Roman Missal, the last pre-Vatican II edition, which includes the Mass of Pope John XXIII.
