When the Church used Latin as their primary language, I could go to Mass ANYWHERE in the World, and fully understand the Mass.
only the monks, priests, merchants and royals spoke the language in medieval times. btw, until the counter reformation. the bible was never in vulgate only in latin. no translation or anything of the sort. in other words your claim is false, kind of. if you were a peasant or a poor bastard.
you were at the mercy of the priest. had to pay for your indulgences as well. this is history
