Although Latin is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church, it is prohibited to say Mass in Latin in our Archdiocese!

There was also a very good reason behind the use of Latin, it united the Church across national borders, it was basically a way to circumvent the "Tower of Babel" issue.

No it isn't. Each Catholic bishop or archbishop can denote one parish for a Catholic Latin Mass. Whether he does it or not is his doing. But it is not prohibited by Rome.
Requests for Indults (Latin Masses) go in to Rome all the time.
