Latin

[MC Just]

why is it totally absent from some Catholic parishes? The VII documents says

36.

" Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites".

Arent all Catholic church's in communion with Rome "latin rite"? What i mean is, there is no such thing as a "american rite" so why is latin totally absent from many of these churches?

ive been to many parishes that dont even have a word of latin, its as if the bishop has become his own pope,and they arent "latin rite".
