The Latin Mass |

The Tridentine Mass (Latin: Missa Tridentina) is the form of the Roman Rite Mass contained in the typical editions[1] of the Roman Missal that were published between 1570 and 1962. Other names for it include Traditional Mass, Traditional Latin Mass, and, in its latest form, Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal. It is widely referred to as the Latin Mass, though the revised form of the Mass introduced in 1969-1970 also has its official text in Latin, and is sometimes celebrated in that language.[2][3] In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued a motu proprio called Summorum Pontificum in which he designated the Tridentine Mass "an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite", as opposed to the "ordinary" or "normal" form.[4] [5] Since then, the Tridentine liturgy has generally been referred to in common parlance as "the extraordinary form" (or even "the extraordinary rite").[citation needed] The term "Tridentine" is derived from the Latin word Tridentinus, which means "related to the city of Trent, Italy". It was in response to a decision of the Council of Trent[6] that Pope Pius V promulgated the 1570 Roman Missal, making it mandatory throughout the Western Church, excepting those regions and religious orders whose existing missals dated to before 1370.[7] |
