Much of the demand for Latin Mass comes from younger Catholics seeking a return to the old ways of worship.
Experts may see Latin as a "dead" language, but it is ideal for the church because the meaning of the words stand the test of time, Lee said.
"Thus Latin is excellent for theology and the transmission through succeeding ages of the unchanging - and unchangeable - doctrines in which the continuity of precise meanings is necessary among different cultures and times," he said.
"Also, one finds the sound of Latin to be sublime and lofty, devoted as it is uniquely to the worship of God."
Catholics do not need to understand Latin to appreciate the Latin Mass, Goodwin said.
In fact, it was only when Mass was said in the language of the community that "people drifted to the idea that the primary point of Mass was to understand everything that was said and going on," he said.
"Mass is not a lesson or a class, or a primary form for the exchange of information.
"The primary point (of Mass) is not to understand it for the information conveyed. The primary point is to be present with your heart and soul as our lady St. Mary and St. John were present at the foot of the cross," Goodwin said.
Mass is the re-presentation, in an unbloody manner, of the sacrifice of Calvary in which Jesus offered his life to atone for the sins of all humanity, Lee said.
Catholics attend Mass to "understand the experience and the reverence and the devotion and the solemnity that are proper to the worship of God," Goodwin said.
