I know I am probably going to get flamed at for asking but:.what do u call those catholic church music? It's kinda like an ethereal music.

Something like this:
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)

Gregorian (or Plain) Chant.

It is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic, unaccompanied sacred song of the Latin Rite (Roman) Catholic Church.

Here are some good websites about Gregorian Chant:

With love in Christ.

if you are talking about the a capella stuff- that is Gregorian Chant, it is hauntingly beautiful, isn't it?

The language you cite is Latin...and the words look like pieces to a litany- a prayer invoking the Lord and the prayers of the saints.
