Ms. Gerst's students, here is our answer.  It appears the Catholic Church continued in Latin (after this practice was reaffirmed by the Church at the Council of Trent) until the mid-1960s, when it decided to allow the vernacular language.  According to the above article, "Latin was not meant to be fully scrapped, but it was quickly abandoned by local churches."   IN 2007, Pope Benedict tried to support the Latin mass by "instruct[ing] bishops around the world to reintroduce the old Latin mass abandoned in the late 1960s if traditionalist Catholics in their areas request it."  Very interesting.
