Best Answer

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.

.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church and Biblical Christianity are the same thing as the Catholic Church wrote and compiled the New Testament, although there was no New Testament, as we have it now, until the Council of Rome near the end of the fourth century. Christianity has always been the Catholic Church, and, as Our Blessed Lord promised, it remains the only Christianity Church and will be here until the end of the world.
