A common problem with direct translation is assuming, in this case “catuli” means “cub” - is that catuli means lion cub, NOT bear cub!
Bear cub in Latin is “Ursidae”. Catuli is where we get our word “cat”.
So “Go Cubs Go!” should be “Eamus Ursidae Eamus!”

Anyone else annoyed that our government is funding a trip to a religious ceremony? In a different nation? Inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

===our government is funding a trip===
I don’t think it is.

…Not bad.

Go Cubs Go couldn’t be any worse in Latin than it is in English. I say that not as a Cardinals fan, which I am, but as a person with ears.

The sign on the building on Sheffield Avenue is going to be corrected. The “AC” portion “And Counting” will be removed.
Judging from the numbers, the linked photo appears to date from 2005.
