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.
