"No, people in the Vatican learn Latin but only after they have learned Italian or another language."

False. Latin is still spoken as a first language in a very small area in Romania. Romania has a very small population spread out over a lot of land, and so it is often overlooked that a small portion still does speak fluent Latin as the local first language. So there are not many people, but some is better than none.
