The Latin mass officially was changed from Latin to the vernacular during the papacy of Pope Paul VI [September 26, 1897-August 6, 1978]. Paul VI reigned as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and as Sovereign of Vatican City for 15 years, from 1963 to 1978. He approved the New Order of the Mass in the vernacular in April 1969. The changes were carried out the following year, in 1970.
What else can I help you with?
Changed the language of the masses?
Pope John XXIII changed the language of the Mass to the local vernacular.
Does Pope Benedict want Mass said in Latin?
He wants the Church to make more frequent use of the Latin Mass and has told bishops that they can not forbid the Latin Mass in their Diocese and must encourage its use.
What year did the Catholic Church change Mass from Latin to English?
Never, actually, the Mass is still in Latin. Latin is the official language of the Church and when a new Missal is issued, it is in Latin. Most countries have permission to say the Mass in their vernacular language, and that permission is discussed below. But the Mass, itself, is still in Latin. So the Catholic Church never authorized the Mass, itself, to be changed, they only authorized translations to be used in place of the Latin for different areas. . That would be in 1970 when it became official in the Roman Missal. However, English was authorized to be used in the mid to late 1960's in direct translation from the Latin. For example in the late 60's we said "and with your spirit" from the Latin "et cum spiritu tuo". In 1970 it was changed to "and also with you" and in 2011 changed back to "and with your spirit".
Why is Pope John XXIII being considered for canonization?
Pope John XXIII was the one who set up the Second Vatican Council, improving certain aspects of the Catholic religion, such as changing the language of the Mass from Latin to whatever vernacular language of each particular country, that is, Mass in Germany would be spoken in German, Mass in England and the U.S. would be spoken in English, etc.
Should Roman Catholic Mass be held in Latin What is the point of it being heard in Latin if nobody can understand it?
In 1545, the Council of Trent established one uniform way to say the Mass: the Tridentine Mass, or more commonly known as the Latin Mass. The Latin Mass was the standard way of celebrating the Mass from the Council of Trent until the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), which was held from 1962-1965. Therefore, the English Mass is fairly new. Since Masses were held in Latin, more people knew and understood the language, or at least the Mass parts. Everyone who was born in the year 1960 or before probably remembers when Mass was celebrated in Latin and also remembers some of the responses, as well as what they mean. Now that Mass is commonly celebrated in English in the United States, less people know the Latin form of the Mass. Some don't even know that there is a Latin Mass. However, it is possible to learn. I am posting a link that has both the English and Latin translations of the Mass parts.

What is the Greek root for 'mass'?
The word "mass" has two main meanings in English. In one meaning, the noun "mass" is defined as "aggregate of matter." In this case, the root is the Greek "maza," which comes into the English language by way of the intermediary Latin term "massa."In terms of the Church service, the root is the Latin noun "missa." The noun comes from the Latin verb "mittere," which means "to send." But the Latin term only dates back about 1,300-1,400 years in its use. Before that time, the term was "eucharistia," which is Greek for "giving of thanks." Its most common translation into English is "eucharist."The Greek term was discarded, and the Latin term selected, under the influence of Gregory I (papacy, c. 540 - March 12, 604), who was Pope from September 3, 590 until his death. By the time of his papacy, the last Greek speakers had left Rome. The Pope therefore wanted to replace the Greek term with a term from Latin, which was the main spoken language of the time. The choice fell upon "missa."
Where could you find an article on the pope?
There are numerous publications, both Catholic and secular, that feature articles about the pope and his policies and doings. In English there is a daily paper called Osservatore Romano that reports on Rome and the pope, the Si Si No No publication, The Wanderer, Catholic Family News, The Remnant, Latin Mass Magazine, Catholic World Report, etc. You can run a web search in most secular periodicals for any articles that may have featured the pope.
