Um... I'm not catholic, so I don't really know this stuff.
Would Father Mulcahy, being a priest and all, pray his rosary in Latin or English?

Latin, I'm assuming, since English wasn't even included in American/English masses until 1964 or 65, with the advent of Vatican II.

though latin wasn't used in masses until the 1960's, the laypeople of the church, the faithful would have prayed in whatever language they spoke normally. So, though a Monk in a monastery might pray solely in latin, I think Father Mulcahy would pray the rosary in English most of the time as praying the rosary is not part of the liturgy.
