Hi all,

When people refer to the “Ordinary Form” and the “Extraordinary Form” of the Mass, which is which?

Gracias,

The Ordinary Form is the Mass of Paul VI, the one we usually hear in our own language, be that English, French, Polish, etc.
The Extraordinary Form, that is the Form “not ordinarily used”, is the Mass in Latin from the 1962 Missal/Tridentine Mass.
