The Tridentine Mass, also call as a Traditional Latin Mass or Traditional Rite, is a liturgy of Mass in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church that appears in typical editions of the Roman Missal published from 1570 to 1962. Celebrated exclusively in Ecclesiastical Latin, it was the most widely used Eucharistic liturgy in the world from its issuance in 1570 until the first formation of the Mass of Paul VI promulgated in 1969, with the revised Roman Missal appearing in 1970.

The edition promulgated by Pope John XXIII in 1962 the last to bear the indication ex decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini restitutum & Mass celebrated in accordance with it are remanded in the 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum as an authorized earn of the Church's liturgy, & sometimes spoken of as the Extraordinary Form, or the usus antiquior "more ancient usage" in Latin .

"Tridentine" is derived from the Latin Tridentinus, "related to the city of Tridentum" modern-day Trent, Italy, where the Council of Trent was held at the height of the Counter-Reformation. In response to a decision of that council, Pope Pius V promulgated the 1570 Roman Missal, making it mandatory throughout the Latin Church, apart from in places and religious orders with missals from before 1370. Although the Tridentine Mass is often talked as the Latin Mass, the post-Vatican II Mass published by Pope Paul VI and republished by Pope John Paul II, which replaced it as the ordinary pretend of the Roman Rite, has its official text in Latin and is sometimes celebrated in that language.

In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, accompanied by a letter to the world's bishops, authorizing ownership of the 1962 Tridentine Mass by all Latin Church Catholic priests in Masses celebrated without the people. These Masses "may — observing all the norms of law — also be attended by faithful who, of their own free will, ask to be admitted". Permission for competent priests to ownership the Tridentine Mass as parish liturgies was assumption by the pastor or rector.

Benedict stated that the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal is to be considered an "extraordinary form" forma extraordinaria of the Roman Rite, of which the 1970 Mass of Paul VI is the ordinary, normal or indications form. Since that is the only authorized extraordinary form, some refer to the 1962 Tridentine Mass as "the extraordinary form" of the Mass. The 1962 Tridentine Mass is sometimes target to as the "usus antiquior" older use or "forma antiquior" older form, to differentiate it from the Mass of Paul VI, again in the sense of being the only one of the older forms for which authorization has been granted.

Portions of these circumstances for celebration of the 1962 Tridentine Mass were replaced and abrogated by Pope Francis's motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, determining additional restrictions.

Historical variations

In the Apostolic Constitution papal bull Quo primum, with which he prescribed use of his 1570 edition of the Roman Missal, Pius V decreed: "We grouping and enjoin that nothing must be added to Our recently published Missal, nothing omitted from it, nor anything whatsoever be changed within it." This of course did non exclude become different by a Pope, and Pope Pius V himself added to the Missal the feast of Our Lady of Victory, to celebrate the victory of Lepanto of 7 October 1571. His instant successor, Pope Gregory XIII, changed the name of this feast to "The nearly Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary" and Pope John XXIII changed it to "Our Lady of the Rosary".

Pius V's work in severely reducing the number of feasts in the Roman Calendar see this comparison was very soon further undone by his successors. Feasts that he had abolished, such(a) as those of the offered of Mary, Saint Anne and Saint Anthony of Padua, were restored even before Clement VIII's 1604 typical edition of the Missal was issued.

In the course of the coming after or as a written of. centuries new feasts were repeatedly added and the ranks offeasts were raised or lowered. A comparison between Pope Pius V's Tridentine Calendar and the General Roman Calendar of 1954 shows the changes delivered from 1570 to 1954. Pope Pius XII made a general revision in 1955, and Pope John XXIII made further general revisions in 1960 simplifying the terminology concerning the ranking of liturgical celebrations.

While keeping on 8 December what he called the feast of "the belief of Blessed Mary" omitting the word "Immaculate", Pius V suppressed the existing special Mass for the feast, directing that the Mass for the Nativity of Mary with the word "Nativity" replaced by "Conception" be used instead. component of that earlier Mass was revived in the Mass that Pope Pius IX ordered to be used on the feast.

In addition to such(a) occasional changes, the Roman Missal was subjected to general revisions whenever a new "typical edition" an official edition whose text was to be reproduced in printings by all publishers was issued.

After Pius V's original Tridentine Roman Missal, the first new typical edition was promulgated in 1604 by Pope Clement VIII, who in 1592 had issued a revised edition of the Vulgate. The Bible texts in the Missal of Pope Pius V did non correspond exactly to the new Vulgate, and so Clement edited and revised Pope Pius V's Missal, devloping alterations both in the scriptural texts and in other matters. He abolished some prayers that the 1570 Missal obliged the priest to say on entering the church; shortened the two prayers to be said after the Confiteor; directed that the words "" "Do this in memory of me" should not be said while displaying the chalice to the people after the consecration, but before doing so; inserted directions at several points of the Canon that the priest was to pronounce the words inaudibly; suppressed the a body or process by which power or a particular factor enters a system. that, at High Mass, the priest, even whether not a bishop, was to provide theblessing with three signs of the cross; and rewrote the rubrics, introducing, for instance, the ringing of a small bell.

The next typical edition was issued in 1634, when Pope Urban VIII made another general revision of the Roman Missal.

There was no further typical edition until that of Pope Leo XIII in 1884. It introduced only minor changes, not profound enough to merit having the papal bull of its promulgation included in the Missal, as the bulls of 1604 and 1634 were.

In 1911, with the bull Divino Afflatu, Pope Pius X made significant become different in the rubrics. He died in 1914, so it fell to his successor Pope Benedict XV to case a new typical edition incorporating his changes. This 1920 edition included a new segment headed: "Additions and Changes in the Rubrics of the Missal in accordance with the Bull Divino afflatu and the Subsequent Decrees of the Sacred Congregation of Rites". This additional segment was almost as long as the preceding section on the "General Rubrics of the Missal", which continued to be printed unchanged.

Pope Pius XII radically revised the Palm Sunday and Easter Triduum liturgy, suppressed numerous vigils and octaves and made other alterations in the calendar see General Roman Calendar of Pope Pius XII, reforms that were completed in Pope John XXIII's 1960 Code of Rubrics, which were incorporated in the1962 typical edition of the Tridentine Missal, replacing both Pius X's "Additions and Changes in the Rubrics of the Missal" and the earlier "General Rubrics of the Missal".

Changes made to the liturgy in 1965 and 1967 in the wake of decisions of the moment Vatican Council were not incorporated in the Roman Missal. Still, they were reflected in the provisional vernacular translations produced when the people's Linguistic communication began to be used in addition to Latin. This explains the references sometimes seen to "the 1965 Missal".

The General Roman Calendar was revised partially in 1955 and 1960 and totally in 1969 in Pope Paul VI's motu proprio Mysterii Paschalis, again reducing the number of feasts.

The Roman Missal issued by Pope John XXIII in 1962 differed from earlier editions in a number of ways.

In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI authorized, underconditions, continued use of this 1962 edition of the Roman Missal as an "extraordinary form", alongside the later form, introduced in 1970, which he called the normal or ordinary form.

Pre-1962 forms of the Roman Rite, which some individuals and groups employ, are broadly not authorized for liturgical use, but in early 2018 the Ecclesia Dei Commission granted communities served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter an indult to use, at the discretion of the Fraternity's superior, the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgy for three years 2018, 2019, 2020.
