There is no reason at all why the Confiteor, the Gloria, the Credo, the Preface, the Pater Noster and the Agnus Dei should not be in Latin or the Kyrie in Greek.

Any Catholic who attends Mass every Sunday from childhood should be able to learn and sing these quite easily.

I think the Confiteor should stay in the vernacular. People need to be reminded that they personally are sinners who need prayer and forgiveness.

Agreed. And I also see no reason why the Confiteor be left out period each week by a number of priests where I (occasionally) attend the N.O.

Or, is there a reason many will do this?
