I strangely have found out that Old Slavonic can be used for the Traditional Catholic Mass. Slavonic has this distinction and is quite special that two completly different rites can be celebrated in this langugae[EasternRite and Roman Rite]. And people say that the traditional Roman Rite is closed it allows three languages to be usedin it : Slavonic,Latin Iin normal liturgies and Greek in Solemn Papal Masses, where the readings are sung in Greek and Latin and the host is divided like in the Eastern churches.Sadly a Solemn Papal Mass hasn't occured in about 40 years.

There are other non-vernacular languages also authorized for use in the pre-Vatican II Roman Mass. But I'm under the impression that the Roman-Slavonic Mass died out under the combined pressure of the introduction of the vernacular into the post-conciliar version of the Roman Rite and the upheavals in what used to be Yugoslavia.

Latin Rite Catholics in Ethiopia had the Roman Mass celebrated in the ancient language of the Ethiopian Church, Ghe'ez. This was until the 1960's as far as I know, when the new liturgy in vulgar tongue was imposed.
The use of Slavonic for the Roman Mass was usual across the Dalmatian coast but at the beggining of the century only one or two parishes kept this Slavonic mass (Gavrilov, 1934). Its use must have stopped after WWII and then Vatican II was its official death.

RP,
No Solemn Papal Mass in 40 years? Every Midnight Christmas Mass I have seen has had a Byzantine deacon chanting the Gospel in Greek.

The solemn Papal Mass hasn't been celebrated in 40 years.It was the grandest Roman Mass and had many assitants for the Pope.The Pope on entering the basilica was followed by his cardinals, archbishops, archpriests, and archdeacons.THE MASS was sung and the readings were sung in both Greek and Latin. All the ministers were vested in gold. During The canon, the Host, unleavened, was cut up like in the Eastern rites and shared amongst the bishops and other ministers.This Mass was rarely celebrated and wa brought back more into usage by Pope John xxiii but only to be thrown for forty years by the successive Popes/
