Honestly, the only people I see using that term are Trads, and they’re using it as a slur. Pretty much anyone else I’ve seen just call it “The Mass”, or less frequently “The OF”.
Yep
For 99.9% of Catholics, none of this is even remotely on the radar screen. The Mass is the Mass.
Ite, missa est.
Fed by the Eucharist, we become what we receive, and go out to the work God provides for us.
