Depends on your definition of 'fluent'.

Pater Noster
qui es in caelis
sanctificentur nomen tuum...

You misspelled an important word there, so much for your fluency...

The priest who writes the Latin for the Catholic Church's
official documents and encyclicals estimates that there are probably
no more than 100 people world-wide within the Catholic Church
who truly speak fluent Latin today.

Do you have his name? and his e-mail address?

My Latin teacher in high school spoke fluent Latin
and told me that he knew of only a very few others
in the USA who could do so.

MY Latin teacher told me that Latin was *required* for a college
degree.

That depends on which college. I didn't have to take any language in college because my 4 years of Latin and 2 years of Greek in high school fulfilled that requirement.

I doubt very seriously that you are one of them...

Sucks to be you. I am also a concert pianist. I have a grand piano
in my living room.

So do lots of people. So do I, a 1912 Aeolian 4'10" grand.

Take a video of your best effort and post it on YouTube...
