Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is extremely conservative, things don't change for centuries on end, a lot of things never change, nor could they if we wanted. There are many words which came into the Mass from the original Hebrew or Greek that never got changed - Amen, Alleluia, the Kyrie. The first Masses were all in Greek, and those words and phrases were so much a part of the people's mind that there was no need to change them to Latin when the rest of the Mass was translated.
