Best Answer

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.

.

All Masses in the Latin Rite are in Latin. In most countries since the Second Vatican Council, the priests are using a vernacular translation of the Latin Mass - but the actual Mass itself is still in Latin, and may always be said in Latin, that is the norm, even if it is seldom done.
