    Priests who butcher Latin? Why is this a problem in the first place? Should a priest be pulled from ministry if he can’t speak clearly? What does the Church say about this?
    Because the Church says the essential form of sacraments is, well, essential.

    Yes, She does, but my question was more about what ‘they’ (the Church/Superiors) do when a priest is butchering Latin during Sacraments.

    This has a good description, albeit from a NO standpoint,  but the important parts are there:

    the minimum requirement for a valid Mass is the correct pronunciation of the words of consecration along with a general understanding of their meaning. This correct understanding should be able to be presumed in a priest.

    Even here, the correct pronunciation is not absolute, provided the errors or lack of clarity in saying the words do not create a new meaning. 

    Otherwise, it is better to wait until he attains the minimum level of Latin.
