8. Latin is still the official language of the Western Church

The new order of Mass was written in Latin, and that's the definitive form. The English, French, Spanish &c.&c.&c. versions are translations of that.

Celebrations of the new order in Latin are rare, but not unknown - I've been to several at the Brompton Oratory, their main Sunday Mass is nearly all in Latin, with full-blown ritual and stunning music.
