I'm looking for the truth to an unsubstantiated story I heard that at some point one of the clerical tailors in Rome (Gammarelli? De Ritis?) put in its window Reginald Foster's "benzinaio" outfit. #Reginaldus #ReginaldFoster

When a friend asked him how his swim was, the Pope’s Latinist replied, “Optime! Urinatus sum in piscinam ter!” Which means he dove into the pool three times, but you can imagine the reaction he got. https://t.co/44IqvMEZjp

"Father Foster looks like Mr. Pickwick and sounds (in English) like a mafia boss." - Harold Jackson, The Guardian, 16 April 1992. I don't know about the mafia boss part, but I guess Reginaldus did kind of look like Mr. Pickwick! #ReginaldFoster #Reginaldus

It's not too often that people read entries from the Lewis and Short Latin dictionary as a tribute at a funeral, but if this was appropriate for anyone, it was appropriate for Reginald Foster. https://t.co/NfbQxDqQhN #ReginaldFoster #Reginaldus #ClassicsTwitter #Latin

I was honored to be asked by @firstthingsmag to write a tribute for Fr. Reginald Foster. “I believe in the beauty of Latin; I've given my life to it, and I want to share it with you." https://t.co/dnJK90qbyI #Reginaldfoster #Reginaldus #LatinTeach #ClassicsTwitter

On this day, Thomas King Foster - who would later, upon joining the Carmelite Order, take the name Reginald - was born in 1939. Plurimos annos, dilectissime magister. #Reginaldus https://t.co/BXHtN2eua2

This week we celebrate Reginald Foster, who turns 80 on Thursday. Here's a Foster story that might be new to you - "Foster, you can't name a diocese after an eel!" https://t.co/oJptyjbeUb

“Sacred language?” he said when asked about Latin as the “sacred language” of the church. “In the first century every prostitute in Rome spoke it fluently — and much better than most people in the Roman Curia.” #Reginaldus #Latin #ClassicsTwitter #Vatican https://t.co/BXHtN1WSLs

.@CBSThisMorning @AlexWagner @AnthonyMasonCBS For 15 years, he gave private tours of the Forum and Colosseum to my students. We'd read Cicero in front of the Roman Senate. He said, "If the beggars, whores and robbers (in Ancient Rome) could speak Latin, so can you." #Reginaldus https://t.co/ufLuOwgzG6

.@CBSThisMorning @AlexWagner @AnthonyMasonCBS Thank you for the piece on my Latin professor of 30+ years ago, Fr. Reggie Foster. He had his own version of "the football" he always carried with him. It contained documents he was translating for the pope. What a great man! 1/2
