What was the language used in the western church until the mid 1960s?

Answer 1

The language used in the Western Church until the mid-1960s was primarily Latin. Latin was the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and was used for liturgical prayers, chants, and many other religious texts and activities. However, with the reforms brought about by the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, the use of vernacular languages (the language commonly spoken by the people) was gradually introduced in many parts of the Western Church, replacing Latin in the liturgy.
