Meet the young people praying in a dead language


Listen Later

It’s been a dead language for centuries, but in one suburb in Melbourne hundreds of people in their 20s are meeting to pray in Latin. So what’s the deal with the revival of Latin mass, and why are these young people trying to fight the Vatican?

Plus, it’s been another huge news day, with Julian Assange finally home in Australia after pleading guilty to a single criminal count of "conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information" in a US court. 

It's left us with a few questions like: what does his guilty plea mean for press freedom? And will it impact Australia's relationship with the US?

Guests:

  • Peter Greste, journalist and executive director, Alliance for Journalists' Freedom 
  • Dr Rosemary Hancock, sociologist, University of Notre Dame
