Why is Latin a useless language to learn?

You could say it's useless because (outside of a very small group of scholars and enthusiasts) the language is no longer spoken or written. You won't be called upon, when visiting a foreign country, to read Latin road signs or ask the way to the bathroom in Latin. There are also reasons, though, why learning Latin is not useless at all. It's useful for its own intrinsic intellectual interest, as an example of a language that is structured quite differently from English. Latin has an important and beautiful literature - particularly the poetry, which, like all poetry, is best appreciated in the original language. Probably the greatest practical benefit of studying Latin, though, is the light it sheds on the words of our own language. About 2/3 of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin, either directly or via Latin's daughter language, French. An English-speaking student who has studied Latin is a better speaker and writer (and speller!) of his or her own native language.

Why does the Catholic Church and someone who studies medicine and law use Latin?

When Rome took over nearly all of what is now Europe, the common language for all educated people was Latin and continued to be so for many centuries. The Church translated all of her founding documents into Latin and everything she issued from that time forward was in Latin, it is still the official language of the Church. Medicine and Law were originally all in Latin, it was the only common language that all the educated people had in common. Latin also is the root language of all the Romance languages, and English has many words directly from Latin.
