Before Vatican II, the laity had limited involvement in the Mass, primarily participating as passive observers rather than active participants. The liturgy was conducted in Latin, and most of the responses and prayers were performed by the clergy. While laypeople could engage in certain roles, such as altar servers or lectors, their overall participation in the Mass was restricted compared to the more active role encouraged by the reforms of Vatican II. The Council emphasized greater involvement of the laity in the liturgical life of the Church.
