Really? Because I attended a Catholic school for 2 years in the 60’s, never heard no Latin. It was optional in high school though, which wasn’t Catholic

No doubt one of the "better schools."

Post Vatican II. The loss of the common language within the Church has contributed largely to the liberalization and democratization of the dogma as each community interprets the Catechism and Encyclicals as they see fit. This is exactly the reason the Church maintain Latin as the lingua franca (also a Latin phrase used because its meaning is well established) for so many years.
