So, hello everyone, I have a question regarding Liturgies.

Now, most Liturgies that are currently celebrated in the West are Novus Ordo, and Tridentine Mass. However, Church still possesses valid Liturgies (such as Ambrosian, or Mozarabic) that are celebrated locally, as well as Ordinariate Use that is still considered western. So I have several questions regarding all of Church Liturgies.
  1. Is there any list of all forms of Western Liturgies that are validly celebrated nowadays in the Church? If local, where are they celebrated?
  2. How distinct are they and in what is the difference? (for example, Ambrosian and Tridentine Mass are supposed to be pretty similar if I recall correctly, any other similarities?)
 
The different religious orders, like Dominicans and Benedictine, had their liturgies as well. I don’t know any specifics.
 
I am aware of that, as well as Gallicans having their own use, English Use was different etc. Most religious orders had their own rite, however, are they still celebrated today?
 
I don’t know so I guess you’ll have to contact the different religious orders to ask if there are no more posts to this thread.

No.

The Novus Ordo was the initial post VII publication. That is no longer the case, and it is now the “Ordinary Form.”

Thanks, I’ve read wikipedia but it confused me a bit- I just do not know whether some forms of liturgies are really different or not, or what differences are. It does not have enough information on this, so that’s why I asked here. I suppose I’ll have to try and see for myself one day 😃

Checking in the footnotes is always a good stepping off point. I found this page from EWTN that describes some of the rites

Also check the Catholic Encyclopedia articles on Rites and Liturgy.

I can speak regarding the Dominican rite. It is celebrated today thanks to Summorum Pontificum. There are some places where it’s celebrated – I know it’s more frequent on the eastern and western coasts of the US, but I’ve also heard of it being celebrated in Texas and Missouri (maybe Minnesota?). This website posts stuff occasionally about the Dominican rite Mass and LOTH:


The Dominican rite is in fact older than the TLM by at least 200 years. 😄

Wow! Thank you. Is Dominican Rite celebrated by most Dominican religious? Sadly I’m not American so I am not in position to just travel to places you mentioned.

Not by most, and not on a regular basis, but the Dominican Rite is celebrated quite frequently here in the States. American Dominicans as a whole tend to be on the more traditional side, broadly speaking.

And even then it’s a spectrum. The Eastern and Western provinces are more traditional than the others. But I think the rite is gaining more attention and places where it is celebrated, which , as a lay Dominican in formation, I’m very happy to see.
 
I understand, I just meant that I am not capable of going to these locations. However, not all Western Rite has Latin as official language- for example Ordinariate Use does not use Latin and is considered Western.
 
We’ve just recently started having a monthly Dominican Rite Mass in the area here south of Indy.
 
The Novus Ordo and the Ordinary Form are the same. Pope Benedict XVI declared the Novus Ordo to be the Ordinary Form of the Mass in the western church, as opposed to the Tridentine which is the Extraordinary Form. These names simply indicate the norm (Novus Ordo) and the exception (Tridentine).

I’m under same impression Michael is, because terms “Novus Ordo”, “Ordinary Form of Latin Rite”, “Mass of Paul VI” are all interchangeable. I do have trouble with how to refer to ad orientem Vatican 2 mass celebrated with incense (and perhaps parts of Latin)- simply calling it NO or OF gives people idea that it’s versus populum no-incense Mass of today’s world.
