This classic Jacob Rees-Mogg claim that praying in Latin makes you healthier must surely be a shoo-in for the WTF Hall of Fame
We don’t often opt to share claims from this guy – or this channel – but some things have to be seen to be believed. This one from 2023 has to be seen to not be believed.

“When the rosary is said vocally in the official language of the church – that is Latin – it slows the breathing down to around six breaths per minute, almost the exact same time as the endogenous circulatory rhythms.
This is known to have a calming effect on the mind and the body.”
At least there was some vaguely scientific basis for the claim – although, not for Rees-Mogg’s ‘eternal life’ postscript, obviously.
He didn’t have a prayer of being taken seriously.
