Yes, some Catholics pray in tongues through the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement, a spiritually-focused group approved by the Church, but it's not universal and usually happens in prayer meetings, not Mass, with interpretations often seen as a private prayer language or unintelligible speech rather than known foreign languages, distinct from typical Catholic worship.
Without interpretation, tongues should remain a private form of prayer and praise (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). The Catholic Church teaches that spiritual gifts, including tongues, are given not for personal gain but for the benefit and unity of the entire Body of Christ (Catechism of the Catholic Church 799-800).
The New Testament describes tongues largely as speech addressed to God, but also as something that can potentially be interpreted into human language, thereby "edifying the hearers" (1 Cor 14:5, 13). At Pentecost and Caesarea the speakers were praising God (Acts 2:11; 10:46).
Yes! Those who speak in tongues are accepted as a part of the Church, and there is a movement known as the Charismatic Renewal that exercises them within the Catholic Church. They meet in self-organized prayer groups, and they are approved by Rome. The Vatican keeps in active contact with the movement.

The second commandment forbids us using God's name in a disrespectful or hateful way. Like in false oaths or insults. When people say oh my God out of surprise at something shocking, good or bad, it's usually not sinful.
Since the Bible testifies that authentic speaking in tongues involves speaking a real, knowable language, then the fact that the modern-day practice of "speaking in tongues" involves uttering gibberish or chanting repetitive sounds is clear evidence it is a manmade attempt to imitate a work of God and not a genuine ...

1968: At a meeting in San Antonio, Texas, 1968, Graham said that the Roman Church had given "tremendous cooperation" in areas where he had held crusades. He added, "A great part of our support today comes from Catholics.
The Assemblies of God does not teach that speaking in tongues as the initial evidence of Spirit baptism has the same usefulness as tongues as a spiritual gift. As evidence, speaking in tongues signifies baptism in the Spirit.
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; ... they shall speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17). The fact that Jesus said these new tongues, or languages, would be a "sign" indicates that the ability to speak them would not come as the result of normal linguistic study.
Glossolalia is also contested by a number of psychologists who view the gift of speaking in tongues as a pathological phenomenon, that is to say, it is part of abnormal behaviour. It is these views, among other things, that made us carry out a critical study of this religious phenomenon.
Paul is explicit in 1 Corinthians 12:30 that not everyone speaks in tongues. The Spirit gives the gift as He sees fit.
Charismatic movement
Charismatics are defined as Christians who share with Pentecostals an emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit but who remain a part of a mainline church. Also, charismatics are more likely than Pentecostals to believe that glossolalia—speaking in tongues—is not a necessary evidence of Spirit baptism.

You can go to heaven if dont speak in tongues but got the Holy Ghost. The tongue is a gift that giving to one just as the other gifts. But even Paul tell that he wish everyone had the gift of decement.
Jesus was perfect, and his relationship with God was unique. The reason Jesus didn't engage in praying in tongues is that he lacked no ability to communicate with God. Praying in tongues serves as a vital tool for those who may struggle in their prayer life, enabling us to express what we may feel unable to articulate.
After the collect at Mass, the faithful say “Amen” to affirm and adopt the prayer the priest has offered on their behalf. However, “Amen” is also a simple affirmation.
Use of “oh my gosh” or “goodness” does not reference God and therefore would not be considered to be sinful.
Jesus gave His Apostles the authority to forgive sins (Jn 20:22-23), and priests today act as instruments of God's mercy. Just as God worked through leaders like Moses and Elijah, He now works through priests in confession to forgive sins.
