During the Catholic Mass, the priest does read the Gospel. He can, however, confer the ability to read the Gospel onto a deacon for that Mass. In common practice, though, only a priest should read the Gospel during the Mass; in private Bible groups or readings, it may be read aloud by anyone.

The Church introduced lectors in the mid 1960s in preparation for the change from Latin to the vernacular.
