It's true, to me that pronunciation is a little absurd, but it's also realistic according to the religious context where this piece was written. Gounod is french, and he put the type of Latin they spoke in France that had this type of pronunciation because that Latin evolved in France and so it became pronounced that way
beautiful, but the French pronunciation throws off the Latin a bit lol
