| | Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church - Tridentine Mass & Popes |
 | | The Tridentine Mass is a term used for Mass celebrated in Latin in accordance with the successive forms of the Roman Missal from its December 5 1570 promulgation by Pope Pius V, implementing a decision of the General Council, held in Trent, Italy. |
 | | Tridentine is the adjectival form of Trent, through its repeated revisions by later Popes, especially in 1604, 1634, 1888, 1920, 1955 and 1962. |
 | | In addition to "Tridentine Mass," traditionalist Catholics use the terms "Ancient Mass," "Traditional Mass," etc., because Pope Pius V's revision of the Roman Missal had as one of its declared aims restoration of the Missal "to the original form and rite of the holy Fathers", an aim not in fact achieved (see Pre-Tridentine Mass). |
