What does Yahweh mean in the Catholic Church?

The name 'Yahweh' derives from the Old Testament name of God YHWH which is suppose to be unpronounceable as the name of God was never to be spoken. It is too sacred and it should not be profaned by using it in human speech. Remember, the word 'God' is not His name but only a description, such as the words pope, king or mayor. The Catholic Church, in recent years, is returning to its Jewish roots and it has been recommended that congregations refrain from using the term Yahweh and to no longer use hymns that include that term or derivatives of the word such as Jehovah.

Is Yahweh part of Catholic Mythology?

It is not so much a question of Yahweh being part of Catholic 'mythology' which isn't mythology, it's religion. As to whether Yahweh is identified as God in this religion, the answer would be 'yes' because Yahweh is the literal translation of the name of God in the Bible, which in the Jewish faith was the name of God that could not be uttered. The literal appearance of the name in the Hebrew language is YHWH, as there are no vowels in the alphabet. As the original biblical name of God in the Old Testament (Torah too), from which we derive 'Jehovah', YHWH is indispensable to Catholicism.
