​Church Latin should be more like Italian: [CHAIR-tsee-oh-RAH-ri]​.
​Classical Latin (reformed): [CARE-tea-oh-RAH-ri].​
​Anglicized (having undergone Great English Vowel *Movement*, etc.):
[SIR-shee-oh-RAY-wry]​.
Other European Latin traditions would have their own native variations.
​The residue explainable as ​blends & laziness.
