How was Latin kept alive in the middle ages?
Latin was the language of the Church in Western Europe. The Vulgate Bible was the Latin translation, one of several, that were widely used in the West in the Church. Early papal communication was all in Latin, and so Latin was the established language of the Church from the beginning. As time passes, languages change. Different dialects of the same language become less and less similar, until the people who speak them are unable to understand each other; this process usually takes about a thousand years or so. The people from different parts of Western Europe found it more and more difficult to communicate over time, and the Latin language evolved into French, Spanish, Italian, and the other Romance Language. The Church, however, provided education in Latin, and the effect was that as the common language changed, the education remained in a rather conservative formal language that was stable. This benefited not only the Church itself, but the governments of nations, which recorded laws and did diplomacy with each other in Latin, and scholars, who could communicate with each other in Latin, regardless of where in Western Europe they lived.
