Yeah, there was this thing called Vatican II in the 1960s. It resulted
in a lot of progressive changes in the church, including no longer
doing the mass in Latin. The conservative faction in the Church has
worked to retrench from the Vatican II progressivism, but the Latin
issue is pretty much dead by now, except for those who are very
attached to pomp and symbolism.
