Very timely question.
The reason I say that is, recently, the Pope has issued an edict to have the name Jehovah and any form of the name whatever language it may found, including it's Hebrew form Yahweh, completely removed from the Church's Bible, hymns, artworks, or wherever else it may be found within the Catholic Church. He has also called on protestant religions to do the same.
It is very interesting that for 1700 or so years of the existence of the Catholic Church, that is, since the time of Constantine, the name was present in the Church and when the protestant religions were formed, it was present throughout all those religions as well. The name has been in hymns, Bibles, on buildings, in artworks, and elsewhere for all these centuries, and it wasn't questioned as to whether it should be there. But now, here we are generations upon generations later, and this new Pope has assumed the position to remove the name and all of it's forms.
I am one of Jehovah's Witnessses, and this does not surprise me at all. In fact, we have been told for some time that these types of things would happen, so we are not shocked by this, but if I were a Catholic, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable with the whole senerio.
The word Jehovah was first used around 1200 AD. It was mistakenly used from a mispronunciation and missed translation. The correction now should be of no consequence unless you base your entire faith on one word, or you have named an organization using that word. It's never too late to correct what is not proper.
Catholic Response:
Yahweh and its derivatives all have roots in the Old Testament name of God, YHWH, which is unpronounceable as the name was considered too sacred to even say. In 2008 the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments directed that the word "Lord" be used instead of Yahweh in English-language worship. The decision was based on the understanding that Jews at the time of Christ and also early Christians substituted other words rather than pronounce the sacred name.

Douay-Rheims Bible Jer 23:26-27 I am thankful that in this day and age we have references that expose fraudsters! Jer 23:26-27[26] How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart? [27] Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal. they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name Douay-Rheims Bible
for Baal. [28] The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord? [29] Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? [30] Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbour.
