The answer I liked best was...
Pie Jesu Domine, Dona Eis Requiem.
(pee-ay yay-su do-mi-nay, do-ni-ay ees rek-wi-em)
Holy Lord Jesus, Give Them Rest.
The spellings, pronounciations, and meanings were all from followup articles.
I've checked the three different HG scripts that I have and none of them included
this inforamtion.
Any other ideas?

Actually the Monks are saying "Jesu e es dominae, domiae es requiem"

They say:
Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.
Don't ask me what it means, my Latin is too rusty.

I always thought it was Domine es requiem (God is Dead I believe) I guess I was
wrong, silly me.

Does your Latin squeak when it moves about? A bit of Whizzo should clear that
problem right up!

No. The last Latin translator died in 1957, in a freak dusting accident.
Since that time, the Latin language has gone the way of Etruscan and
Phrygian; not only can no one translate it, but most people can't even
place it on a map.
Which is acually not that difficult if you spread the map out flat enough
to begin with.
Yours, Si Rowe

I think it means something like "Jesus, our kind Lord, give them peace".
Which is not funny at all.

Well, let's sound it out. "Pie" looks like pious. "Jesu" looks likes
Jesus. "Domine" looks like God. "Dona" looks like give. "Eis" looks
like nothing but sounds like us. "Requiem" looks like the English word
of the same name. Could it mean sanctuary? "Great Jesus, Lord, give us
sanctuary."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

going over this for a while. Learn Latin, because you can't just look at
it and think you know what they're talking about. Latin is a case language,
which means it has different case endings for words to tell you what part of
speech a word has, and where it fits into the sentence. For one, this
sentence doesn't look syntactically correct; there's no verb in it. I'm
thinking it's part of a sentence. The first clause (Pie Iesu Domine)
translates to "Good Lord Jesus". The second clause (which you were right
to assume has a verb in, because it would be the main clause) translates to
"the gifts to them rest (as in "sleep", not, "the rest of them")" So we have:
"Good Lord Jesus, the gifts for them rest"
I think they ommitted the verb "sunt" (they are). If you put it in there, you
get;
"Good Lord Jesus, the gifts for them are rest"
This makes a whole lot more sense. Boy, it's glad to see my fortune I'm
spending on tuition is going to a noble cause ;)
Rhys aka Latin is dead! If it crops up again, kill it!!!

Good point. In fact, this sentence fragment is taken out from the Requiem Mass.
Originally, the whole sentence should be:
Huic ergo parce, Deus, pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.

Absolutely right. It's right at the end of the Lacrymosa section of the
Sequence Dies Irae (Day of Wrath).
Just for the sake of completeness, I'll supply the whole verse, and a
translation:
Lacrymosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla, judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce Deus.
Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.
That day will be one of weeping, on which rises again the guilty (man) to be
judged. Therefore spare him O God.
Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest.
Is that settled?
p...@waikato.ac.nz
No, it's not settled; I just thought I'd mention that there are two verbs in
this sentence "parce" and "dona." Both are imperative "Spare!" "Give/grant!"
I now return you to your regularly-scheduled reading.

PIE O holy
IESU Jesus
DOMINE, Lord
(For grammarians, the above are all in the vocative case, the
nominative being Pius, Iesus and Dominus respectively)
So far, we have (in English word order) . . .
``O holy Lord Jesus"
DONA Give/grant
EIS to them
REQUIEM rest
Right. ``O holy Lord Jesus, grant them (id est, the souls of
the faithful departed) rest."
With apologies for introducing FACTS into this newsgroup,
but I suppose somebody had to do it eventually (sigh).

world when one is so distraut because they cannot figure out what some self-
mutalating monks are saying. Get a hint! It was put in by Python to make
fun of the Church. It is a statement against the way the Church ats. What
was actaully said is moot... IT IS A JOKE!
