The Vatican's New Radio News Broadcast Is in Latin

Civitatis Vaticanae de Papa est in domum suam. Est modo in mundo sunt ibi linguam Latinam et venturo aevo est extra scholam occasus. Urbem autem et offer a ordinarius muneris nuntium est lingua in eo. Daily Telegraph tradit:

The first five-minute bulletin will be broadcast on Vatican Radio on Saturday, becoming a regular weekly event.
The programme will be called Hebdomada Papae, notitiae vaticanae latine redditae or The Pope's week - Vatican news in Latin. [...]
Vatican translators have had to come up with some ingenious ways of communicating contemporary concepts into Latin.
A suicide bomber, for instance, is rendered as voluntarius suis interromptor while xenofobia is exterarum gentium odium. 
Latin equivalents of modern terms are often tongue-twisters, such as Certaminibus Mundialibus Sphaeromachiae for the football World Cup, or follis canistrīque ludus for basketball.
