Anglican Church languages?
English and LatinRoman Catholic AnswerThere is a "Church of England" which is the Anglican Church, an ecclesial community which left the Catholic Church by order of Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I. They services are all in English. Then there is a Catholic Church IN England, which is the Catholic Church. Up until Vatican Council II, the priest prayed everything in Latin, and administered the Sacrmants in Latin. He used English, say in the confessional, to talk to his penitents and then switched to Latin for the absolution. The Mass was entirely in Latin, but the readings would be read again in English, and the homily would be in English. Since Vatican Council II, all Sacraments, Prayers, and the Breviary are now in English.

Why was Luther's translation of the Bible into German so important?
The translation of the Bible into German was important because, prior to this, it was only really available in Latin. Since the majority of people could not understand Latin, this meant that the Bible (and also church services and rites, which were also in Latin) were incomprehensible to them. By translating the Bible into the language of the people, Martin Luther made it accessible to them and allowed them to read and interpret it on their own, rather than through the intermediary of the Catholic church.

When did lectors start in the Roman Catholic Church?
The Church introduced lectors in the mid 1960s in preparation for the change from Latin to the vernacular. Originally, the lector would read the Epistle and Gospel in the local language at the same time the priest read them in Latin at the altar. Prior to that the priest would read the Sunday readings in Latin and then again in the local language from the pulpit. Once the language change was made, lectors continued to read the first and second readings and the priest would then read the Gospel.
Why were the Bibles in Latin?
